I wish there were more political figures and "popular" people in this style. Looks great. Nothing too new, but still nice.

Why would anyone want to celebrate this asshole? He was a mass murderer. :thumbdown:

But on the other hand, one man's mass murderer is another man's "freedom fighter".

And so has pretty much every President of the United States. Life isn't as simple as good/bad and black/white. Few people realize how priviledged we are in the United States, especially now (as opposed to 50 years ago).

Hitler on the other hand was pure evil, but some valid points are still raised concerning his devotion to his country (it's the whole incineration of jews that people have a problem with)

Che had more respect for humankind than any President that has reigned over the United States during my lifetime. And millions of sheeple celebrate those assholes, and even seek to have their stupid kitten mugs carved into mountains. Where can I buy this?

:roll: And millions of sheeple celebrate THIS asshole. Go figure.

"Nearly four decades after his death, it's impossible to avoid the image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara everywhere from T-shirts to cartoons. Liberals consider Che a revolutionary martyr who gave his life to help the poor of Latin America. Time named him one of the one hundred most influential people of the last century. And a major Hollywood movie is about to lionize him to a new generation."

"The reality, as we learn from Cuban exile Humberto Fontova, is that Che wasn't really a gentle soul and a selfless hero. He was a violent Communist who thought nothing of firing a gun into the stomach of a woman six months pregnant whose only crime was that her family opposed him. And he was a hypocrite who lusted after material luxuries while cultivating his image as a man of the people."


Beautiful work on the print, though. :)

If I pay $100 for a screen print during a recession, it will be an EMEK and it will have 12 colors, not two.

A $100 print thanks to Capitalism. Brought to you by everyone's favorite Commie, Che Guevara. Yerena must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Some artists seem to like making career limiting moves. Wonder if Jetset is still running this guy's show.
