DUMB PHONE
DUMB PHONE is a new digital work available in a variety of sizes. Check the prints on demand icon. Smartphones have turned us into compulsive communicators and yet interpersonal communications have never been worse. Smartphones are Intruders, Destroyers, Spies, Control Freaks.

I’m with Lady Violet who mumbled with worry and disgust, “First, electricity, now telephones! I feel as if I’m living in an H.G.Wells novel.”
I loved my dumb phone. There was something lovely and civilized about saying to the long distance operator, Plaza 9 double four double three, please.
Those old heavy black phones were primitive, but you could slam the receiver down. Can’t slam a smartphone down. It is too fragile. A fragile, electronic nerd.
Don’t call me #Smartphonelover. Text an angry message. You can buy Dumb Phone pillows, tees and stuff in my KetchumArt shop on teepublic.com/ketchumart. It’s the smart thing to do.
