Icons + symbols bastardisation

In relation to the theories I've been reading up on about the connection between grunge music and postmodern art, a theme I've come across a lot is bastardisation.
The art of taking existing imagery/sound and basically shredding it and subverting the meaning to make a statement or more often, a mockery. Seeing as I'm awful at collage, I decided to have a go at some digital mock ups.


I'm enjoying working like this as it allows me to play with multiple ideas and interpretations without having to repeat whole drawings or scans. Digital is really helping me find my feet with this journal, as I was really struggling to come up with ideas purely on paper to fill it with.
