LUCKY BUNNY

My first new limited edition screen print of the year, Joy Ride, is now available in my web store. It’s from an edition of only 50, is signed/numbered and on very heavy paper stock.

“I find your poster of President Bush with a Hitler moustache offensive.  It’s okay for you to not like Bush.  I don’t like Obama. I’ve seen what he has done to the art market. This past year 50 major art galleries in Santa Fe have closed. Obama’s big spending and expansion of government has killed the art market.  In my forty years as a fulltime artist I’ve never seen the art climate this bad…but I don’t make image of the president and put a Hitler moustache on him.  If you will look at history Hitler killed 6 million Jews. I don’t think Bush or Obama have done this kind of horror. Even if we don’t like the man we must honor the office. We must show some respect for the leader of the free world.  Comparing Bush to Hitler is not a good thing. It will not help your career. There are more conservatives that collect art than liberals. With the Bush poster you just lost 60% of your buying public. Probably higher than that.”

A bunch of artists, myself included, donated a bunch of art to benefit P-Funk artist, Overton Loyd. Click the following link for tonight’s details….
