CELEBRATING OBESITY!
a poem/graphic by a.c.d

i hope everyone RSVPs :-D
you can also check this piece out on my website: acd.works/writing/collages/obesity
A tan, paper-textured image with brown accents. The words “CELEBRATING OBESITY!” sit at the top in a large bubble font. A round botanical drawing is faded into the background of the image. Two round abstract shapes almost like a person kneeling frame the top paragraph. The text reads, in alternating cursive and bubble fonts: “You are invited—cordially of course—to the wedding of A.C.D & THE FAT THAT HANGS OFF HER BULGING STOMACH. On the EVERY DAY of the EVERY MONTH of the EVERY YEAR. At THE SOFT FEELING OF SUNLIGHT DANCING ACROSS HER EXPOSED THIGHS. Join the 300 POUNDS OF WONDERFUL, UNDULATING FLESH for a night to remember and a large, full life to treasure. The DENSITY OF LOVE, the WEIGHT OF HUMOR, and the HEAVINESS OF SPIRIT to follow. P.S. All gifts in the form of advice, diet pills, or similar smelling bullshit will be torn open and stabbed using a thin person’s fragile rib. P.P.S. The happy couple is only accepting well wishes, poor wishes or any wishes in between in the form of COLD HARD CASH. P.P.P.S. Pay up, shut up, crack like the twig you are.”

ExploringYourWorld
a collage poem by a.c.d

i ran a found/collage poetry workshop a few days ago and this is one of the things i created. i like how it turned out!

you can also see it on my website: acd.works/writing/collages/exploring
A canvas painted in swirls of green and blue and black and pink and yellow. Words from different sources pasted on it that read, "Exploring Your World. How many lines of the poem have specific gravity. each line of a poem has a secret to tell. How many lines read commonly tarnished and iridescent. fracture: perfect. Quarter to six in the morning is occasionally prismatic. Does it take about 30 hours, 1 hour, 30 minutes, or 1 minute to answer the sun? Choose the correct answer for each. a) There's a picture opposite me b) My story's infinite" Illustrations in gold ink on black backgrounds surround the words, including a stylized sun in the corner.

Make Yourself Feel BETTER!
a collage poem thing by a.c.d

made from an email my insurance sent me about "self care", a scammy car advertisement i got in the mail, and a financial planner i stopped using

you can also look at it on my website: acd.works/writing/collages/better
Cut out text arranged in a poem. The text was pasted on a piece of graph paper and everything is tinted green. Light green cogs surround the text. It says “Self guided ways to feel a little better. Instant cash! more money, shop around, payday. But you are not a winner, Be realistic - Sorry. Health, money, resources, clarity, winning is limited. Reflect how to win: get out!!! It can be hard to win. Prepare for debt without success. Do I want to be less free? Insurance coverage provided by or through United HeathCare Insurance Company or its affiliates.

GALL STONE FRUIT
a digital collage by a.c.d

i have chronic gallstones despite having my gallbladder removed 10 years ago (doctors love telling me how wild that is) so i made some art about it!

more info + better image on my website: acd.works/gallstone
Bold text that says GALL STONE FRUIT surrounded by pink highlights on a lighter pink, textured background. In the center of the text is a large peach shape made from collaged images of my face that have been distorted and discolored so they resemble a peach's fruit and put, all with a picture of my smile in the middle of the pit.
