"Plug Me" is a collection of hand-printed, one-of-a-kind block and letterpress prints and thematic collection of drawings and watercolors created by Mark Murphy."Plug Me" presents a curious assortment of other-worldly creatures scrambling for coexistence with human kind as poor political decisions and climactic shifts are pushing all life to the brink of survival. Looking to minimize the damage, Mark's wild-eyed creatures search out whimsical resolutions that look to plug up the problem.

 

"Man and nature are aggressively searching for coexistence these days. As unforeseen forces of nature, health, economy, politics and religion are in an agitated state and the world has noticeably sprung a leak"  states Murphy

.
