My first new print for a while (too long), came from considering my own past debt problems and the fact that the USA owes more than me! It also references the fact that I/we owe the States a cultural debt for giving the world and me so much culturally. The print includes, Hunter S thompson, Miles Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol and Michael Jackson, which is a mix of counter-culture and mainstream icons. Hard to see in a scan but it also includes in gold, a mushroom cloud and the space shuttle.

If ever there was a time for NOT spending money from the future it is now.

This print featured in the Recent Whanagnaui National Exhibition and Award show, currently on at the Community Art Gallery in Whanganui.
