Summer Game Over
acrylic paint on paper, 84×59,4 cm
Open Studio Poster Series
The game has ended, and the summer vibes have fallen one by one.
A playful nod to the retro Space Invaders, “Summer Game Over” is an ode to the end of the season. Instead of shooting aliens, your favorite alien character is on a mission to conquer summer itself, and she’s won. As the sun sets on those endless warm days, the comic cloud says it all:
“You Fall”—a clever twist on falling and the arrival of fall.
The end of summer can be a bit of a downer, but here’s the secret: it’s all about embracing the change with playful spirits and light minds. The seasons may shift, but with a little fun, we can always find joy, even in the cold. This piece celebrates the spirit of finding fun in the inevitable shift, keeping the playful energy alive through every season.
Part of the Open Studio Poster Series, “Summer Game Over” brings the energy of the Autumn Open Studio 2024 into your home—a reminder to enjoy the game, no matter the season.
