March of Regression – The Smartphone Age: A Modern Twist on Evolution

Posted

 

March of Regression

What began as a celebration of progress has now turned into a commentary on our times — March of Regression: The Smartphone Age gives the classic “March of Progress” evolution chart a modern (and slightly tragicomic) ending.

In this witty semi-realistic illustration, the final stage of human evolution stoops forward, head down, eyes glued to a smartphone — oblivious to the tiny terrified poop emoji right beneath the next step. The concept playfully explores how far we’ve come… and what we might have lost along the way.

The painting style is rich and painterly, evoking the feel of vintage educational charts while delivering a modern satirical punch. It’s both thought-provoking and laugh-out-loud funny — a perfect mix for fans of tech humor, social commentary, and clever visual storytelling.

Whether you see it as humor, art, or a mirror of our digital obsession, March of Regression makes a bold statement on tees, prints, and accessories.

Posted
The fly in the ointment, Opito Bay, around 2007. This post was originally published in November, 2007.

The Photograph I was on holiday in Opito Bay on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula, sitting on the couch in the place we were staying at. A friend's iPod was resting on the coffee table, on top of a copy of The Economist from March 2005, whose cover story happened to be titled "The Real Digital Divide." A fly landed on the iPod's click wheel and stayed there. I reached for my camera, took the shot, and edited it later in Photoshop to give it the grungy, oversaturated look you see above. The fly on the iPod along with "The Real Digital Divide" struck me — immediately, and with a kind of emb...

Anza-Borrego Wildflowers

Posted
Anza Borrego Desert State Park California Wildflowers This cluster of wildflowers is typical of the flowers in Plum Canyon in Anza-Borrego Desert this spring. Because of the dry and harsh environment, most of the flowers are tiny like the three in this photo. But what they lack in size, they make up for in color. It's pretty difficult to try and identify all these flowers, but I'm pretty sure the white one is Desert Pincushion. Help out if you can. I've been using the CalFlora.org website to try and identify the flowers in this series.
