""doomed to care,""
""I don't simply want to record what's happening but also share definite opinions. And I've never been particularly shy about expressing my opinions,""
""I had never thought to use what I eventually termed 'typographic portraits' until the election campaign of 2016. I remember being alarmed about Donald Trump's rise to power through the GOP. I would argue with friends about how bad he was. Most of my arguments fell on deaf ears. I then decided to make a list of every word I could think of to describe him.

A personal mantra of "doomed to care" motivates refusal to remain silent during perilous times. Portraits gather history and biographical details in a signature typographic style that documents American history as it unfolds. The images function as cautionary tales and a form of activism that expresses definite opinions rather than neutral record-keeping. Typography experiments began with overlaid type blocks for music posters and progressed to magazine covers, including pieces for The Nation. A 2016 election portrait made from a list of descriptive words garnered attention and accelerated development of the typographic-portrait technique for major publications.
