I'm not sure exactly when or how it started, maybe with those Successories posters that were so ubiquitous in the 90's? Whatever the cause, I've often felt an aversion to quotes that are supposed to inspire but instead somehow leave me feeling empty. Perhaps it's a poor choice of words. Or, now that anyone and everyone can make memes without bothering to proofread, distracting spelling and grammar errors. All I know is that I very rarely find inspiration in the quotes I see posted on social media set against a gradient or abstract background. I was so annoyed that I decided to make fun of the entire concept. I finally put it all together yesterday with my new Meaningless Inspirational Phrase line of products for Zazzle. Existential? Cynical? Sarcastic? Looks like something Daria would enjoy? Perhaps there is still a little bit of disgruntled 90's teen still left in me. At any rate, I hope someone will like these.
