Inside the Pop Culture Collection: The Icons That Raised Me

For me, pop culture isn’t just entertainment—it’s part of my personal history.

As a 90s kid, I was raised on sugar, cartoons, and TV.

In my world, silence meant safety. If the kids were quiet, trouble stayed away. So I sat with the TV—not just to pass the time, but because those characters became my family when life was hard.

Why I Mosaic Pop Culture Icons

The Pop Culture Collection is my way of saying thank you to the characters that raised me.

They weren’t just drawings or stories—they were my teachers, my comfort, and my role models.

They taught me about:

Right and wrong

Love and friendship

Dreaming big and stepping outside the box

They told me I could reach for the stars and keep going, even when life felt impossible.

That’s why I mosaic them now—not just because I love them, but because they helped me survive childhood and build the life I have now.

Cartoon Tattoos & Mosaic Icons

I even have cartoon tattoos for the same reason I make these mosaics—because I connect deeply with the characters.

They remind me of who I am, where I came from, and how far I’ve come.

They represent resilience, imagination, and the power of stories to shape lives.

Pop Culture and Parenthood

Now as a parent, I get to share these icons with my kids—not just through watching the shows again, but through art, mosaic, and storytelling.

Passing these stories down is part of how I parent—creating joy, comfort, and lessons from characters that once did the same for me.

Final Thoughts: More Than Just Fan Art

The Pop Culture Collection isn’t just fan art—it’s a collection of personal tributes to the icons that helped me become who I am today.

These mosaics are my way of keeping those stories alive, while also inviting new generations to find meaning in them too.
