For this particular project he wanted bombs dropped in a garbage bin and wanted that "crime scene grungy look" applied to it.  Generally this is not something I do, my stuff is poppy and clean however I was up for the challenege and took on the project.

You've worked hard this week and deserve a break...and something pretty in your house/cubicle or second home at the Hamptons (as we all have). So how about a discount on one of my more popular prints, Wicked?

The print is 12x18 and on lustre paper

For today only I'm discounting my Wicked print from $30.00 to $20.00! But wait! That's not all, (Queue the ghost of Billy Mays) if you order today I'll also throw in one of my magical bookmarks (your choice) and a free sticker!

I only have 10 prints in my store so don't delay!

So what are you waiting for? Head on over to my store and grab some prints to get your free paper products!  Oh one other thing, those big expensive giclee prints of my work?  Yeah, they're reduced down so now not only can you can have museum archival quality prints hanging in your hip pad, you’ll have an excuse to say “giclee” in mixed company.

The idea was to make "McNuns" serving customers.  I've always loved doing work for this client, he always has the best ideas and funniest articles.
