When I went back on Tumblr, I followed a blog that displayed Ed Ruscha’s collection.  It no longer exists.  However, going through the archives during its time on the social media site, I grew to like his work.  I loved how he depicted space with his wonderful clean and neat execution.  Furthermore, I find his use of bright color schemes fascinating.  At no point did the colors feel garish.  At the same time, he shapes words with a near endless litany of sizes and fonts that I know he had to decide whether that style could fit with the word he chose.  He uses a variety of words from the innocuous such as “lawns” to the whimsical such as “oof”.

In his art, Ruscha tamed pop culture and kitsch.
