It's just so cool to be able to put a piece of my country in a place like Times Square, you know? It's insane to think about. My name is Helen Ratner and I'm an artist and illustrator. I'm a graphic designer based in Brooklyn. I'm from Guatemala CD and I'm a multidisciplinary artist. Going to be using MRI image to create a typographic poster with like an interesting texture that I find out on the street, something floral and then making it look like alien and out of this world. I wanted to pay homage to where I come from and all this movement that I have to go through in order to get to where I am letting my hands do the work. That's why I like printing stuff out. I realized that Maya image really helped me speed up my process. It's definitely an exciting tool for creators to kind of use things that are made by themselves, but also synthesizing them in a really cool way. But at the end of the day, I think everything comes down to being able to see your idea before it exists, that being inside your head. I'm so excited that this is actually going to appear in Times Square next. Yeah, hopefully it's something that people are into.
