This week's Fresh Shop is the sensational MorganJesse. Just the other day I was perusing on Pounce Undiscovered, one of my favorite my favorite Etsy search tools, and - ZING! - MorganJesse's shop appeared before my eyes! I met this character at Renegade Chicago last year, where he and his fellow members of Daydream Silkscreen were selling their wares. They were giving away one of the best promos I have ever seen: marshmallows printed with the word "DAYDREAM." Genius. I am so happy to see that he has since joined the Etsy fold.

Each collage is accompanied by a witty and engaging snippet of narrative that provides insight into the collage's story and the artist's vivid imagination, like the description for the collage above:

"After the first Ninja attack on her way back from school through the Industrial Zone, Joan acquired a Panda."

MorganJesse's artwork is infused with an wonderfully offbeat sense of humor and a particular nostalgia that comes with the territory of using imagery from vintage encyclopedias. Something about the title "Arm Hopper" is endlessly amusing to me.

 
Each of MorganJesse's artwork even comes with its very own certificate of authenticity. Now you can rest assured.

Fabulous work! Who's your latest Pounce discovery?
