Welfare-Warfare State: The Poster

[Annihilia]

Just finished this one, let me know what you guys think.

The quote underneath everything is one from Grover Cleveland in response to the use of public funds for the purpose of relief and charity in general.

Nice!

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Oooooh nice. Two thumbs up.

[Annihilia]

Thanks!

@LLS: My idea for the next piece is a take on those BUY LOCAL bumper stickers you see around VT. I haven't thought it through entirely, but it's going to look like a "localvore" ad urging people to stop supporting "harmful mass produced legislation" from DC and instead turn to their own localities for meaningful change.

[Jeremy]

The more I look at it the more I like it. I think my favorite part is "This is why they hate us" on the bomb.

It´s very tasteful. What I like most, though, is that it doesn´t attach itself to anything current. I´ll never look at it and be disappointed. This poster represents the most core arguments and beliefs of what I consider to be libertarianism in a fantastic visual way. The very first association I noticed was between the faceless bureaucrat and the gunpoint charity. It isn´t angry and "in your face" like most libertarian propaganda... it´s almost pleading.

Well, I looked into a bunch of fulfillment sites and the best quality/price has been Imagekind, so I set up an account there. It must be good since a lot of photographers and painters get their prints done up there.

I'll put the link in my sig in a minute. Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Weeeeee! Awesome. I get genuinely excited about something perhaps three times a year. I´ll consider this a birthday present! :D Thanks.

[Mini-Me]

This...is wonderful.

[powerofreason]

That is fantastic. Very impressive.

:cool:

Oh, and I am also in the process of setting up a Zazzle account for Jeremy (since he has a 10% off card or something) if you prefer that. I'll link when that's up.

[Annihilia]

Ok, here it is on Zazzle. I'll do up the storefront when I have some spare time.

It's a bit cheaper than imagekind due to the lower quality paper, but I figure it's not going to matter too much.

I finally was able to see this poster earlier this month. It's in a high-traffic house and people stare at the poster for long periods of time. .... Well -- I mean - they aren't "all there," but still! It looks fantastic, even better on my wall than monitor!

This is freaking awesome, do you have one with better quality?

That would look amazing on a t-shirt.
