Lost on Highway 1

This composition features a vibrant, multi-layered graffiti inscription in blue, orange, red, and white, applied over a printed tourist map of California's Highway 1. The central motif is a stylized word or tag, rendered with bold outlines and a sense of dynamic movement. Splatters of white and blue paint are distributed across the surface, adding textural variation. In the lower left quadrant of the composition, a depiction of Felix the Cat is integrated, rendered in black, white, and blue, with a wide, smiling expression. The character's form is outlined with a similar multi-colored border as the central graffiti. The underlying map provides a contextual backdrop, with visible text relating to "FARMERS MARKETS," "BEACHES," "HIKES," and "WINE COUNTRY," along with geographical markers such as "AVILA BEACH" and "OCEANO." The use of a commercial map as a substrate juxtaposes mass-produced information with individual artistic expression. The overlay of graffiti and a recognizable cartoon character creates a dialogue between urban culture, popular imagery, and the landscape depicted on the map. The work's layered elements contribute to its visual complexity and narrative potential.
