Did you know your food is totally fracked? Yep, it is all poison and processing, with companies like Monsanto raking in billions as they "feed the starving world"... LOL! Feed their starving pockets, more like... I do an organization called Artists Against Monsanto, so it is fun when I have new art to share in that direction... This one was sent to me by my nephew, who used to collect foreign currency, until he saw what I was doing... Now he sent them to me to paint on... Thanks, Diego!
As soon as I saw this I thought, 'Oh it is the Jolly Green Giant! Looks a little worried...' The next thing I noticed was the very tattered old condition of the bill, which suggested to me that I try and make the art appear weathered as well... Ballpoint it is, then! I really enjoy street art, but not going to jail... So I treat money as my walls, and graffiti to my heart's content...
I thought the Jolly Gene Giant should be running from mutant food... I saw the Monsanto logo in a box... And Brasil calls its currency REAL, for gawd's sake... That alone is loaded with puntential... I like how the tomato stem looks like a bizarre Tim Burton hat that grows offscreen... And the big number 1 in the middle, that needed to be a fork... Which meant the tomato mutant needed arms...
The Monsanto vine from their logo fit nicely over the stylized DNA strands... Like someone else coming and tagging over a previous work... Lulz... I couldn't have the tomato's other hand going offscreen, so I added a knife... I mean, that is what GMO food will do to you, if you are a jolly green client...
Many people across the world are going to march in protest of Monsanto and genetically modified foods, in May... Look for a march in your own town, or start one... Let's ban RoundUp and all biotech too...
So don't let the Jolly Gene Giant getcha! Veto Monsanto, and upvote this post... I have lots of new moneyart in the past week, as part of a new 2018 series for an upcoming show... (Hopefully!) Oh, and you can resteem this too, is you dare to help save the food supply...
