Because It's Friday: Tapestries of Erin M. Riley

Taking inspiration from the lurid world of modern day camera-phone portraiture (particularly self-portraiture) and web-cam culture - mediums that tend to dwell on the pervasive themes of sex, drugs, and ego-run-amok - young Philadelphia-based artist, Erin M. Riley strikingly translates this often sleazy and disturbing imagery into the staid form of traditional woven tapestry art.
Having caught our eye originally with this piece entitled "Grand Theft Auto" derived from a somewhat ubiquitous photo that had made the rounds around the web of a pig-tailed blonde girl toking up in a room with a San Andreas poster in the background - we delved deeper into Erin's work to appreciate her brilliant collection of tapestry art.

You guys at Rockstar have also done this with each of your games; Max Payne's dialogue in his latest game upheld a lot of cynical observations about the people of our time. I can't help but feel that Dan Houser and other writers involved in Rockstar Games love to insert their own analysis of the world; whether it's presented humorously in the form of a radio ad, metaphorically announced like in Red Dead Redemption, or put bluntly by Niko Bellic or Max Payne. All examples of which are as artistically relevant as the works of Erin Riley, so it's no surprise that you've chosen to promote her work here.
Didn't expect to write that much... Felt like I got something off my chest, there. Cheers!

I know will be a very beautiful and complete game but I wish to have one thing when I'll play the game.
All I want in Grant Theft Auto V (of course if you can do this) it's when I'm driving the police car I wish to turn on the hazard warning lights without sound.That will make me happy!!! Honestly.Thank You Rockstar.Respect from Romania.I hope you understand my message...:D:):)
