Chicago based Galerie F and Matthew Hoffman invited 100 artists to the third YAB DIY, a group show to customize or reinterpret the YAB sign that Matthew designed back in 2002.

After drafting some fonts, I painted the message on the back of the wooden sign using a gradient of colors.

Then I hided the message as if it was a colorful precious stone.

In 2016 I was invited again to customize the same message, this time over a sticker. To do so, I crafted a collage by sticking random basic shapes.
