My par­ents place or yours?

For those of you (this includes me) in your 20’s what do you think? Bet­ter or worse than you expect­ed? Illus­tra­tor Natal­ie Adkins has a scathing, tongue-in-cheek look at what we thought life would be like vs. what it actu­al­ly is.

The titles for these pieces are hilar­i­ous, so I’m includ­ing them in the cap­tions. Via The Fox is Black.

If You Fell In The Shower and No One Was There To Hear You Fall, Would You Still Make a Sound?

If You Fell In The Show­er and No One Was There To Hear You Fall, Would You Still Make a Sound?

It's Not That People Won't Give You The Time of Day, They Won't Give You The Morning After.

It’s Not That Peo­ple Won’t Give You The Time of Day, They Won’t Give You The Morn­ing After.

Adkins cre­at­ed image-chang­ing volvelles with these illus­tra­tions that cre­ate a new mes­sage as they’re turned.

And final­ly, here’s a col­lag ani­mal for good mea­sure. I real­ly enjoy her cut paper stylizations.
