Needy Cards


This project was started in January of 2015. Each card is inspired by the style of Lichtenstein with the flare of Demetria Rose.


"You're OLD!" was the original creation for a class project.




"if I wanted your opinion" was created for my dad's birthday. Pop Art for my Pops!



Get well soon... 

 You'd complain


"...cake?" Who doesn't love cake?




Go to bed too early? You know who you are! "Past My Bedtime!"




Are you a "Slack-Ass" and forgot someones birthday? Welp, here you go... you're late!



That awkward moment when that talented person grows up and can't wear muscle shirts everyday.





Stay tuned for more Needy Cards

The Beginning

Demetria Rose is currently a Graphic Design student at Portland State University; employed as an in-house graphic designer at The Center for Public Service; a mother; and the owner of Dahlia Inspirations- an Arts and Crafts company inspired by the birth of her daughter.

As an artist who works in a variety of media, her artworks are saturated with obviousness, mental inertia, clichés and bad jokes. They question the coerciveness that is derived from the more profound meaning and the superficial aesthetic appearance of an image. Parodying mass media by exaggerating certain formal aspects inherent to our contemporary society, she makes works that can be seen as self-portraits. Sometimes they appear idiosyncratic and quirky, at other times, they seem typical by-products of American superabundance and marketing.
