[Imc-nyc-design] Re: [IMC-NYC-Print] oil wars poster already done

[Frank Reynoso]

hey folks,

i'd love to see a print-team working group doing a map that would sell. the oil wars idea sounds great as do the 
other ones.
but, what the indy arts group is looking into is doing a more illustrative/artistic heavy project, which can be done 
with limited funds and have a long shelf life. clamor's "make art not war" poster series is one model we were 
discussing, as well as the No RNC poster collective's "Our City, Our Streets" book. 
an idea that's been tossed around is a "who's who" of something. eg. who's who of the neo-cons, who's who of 
war profiteers, etc. 
i think a who's who of war profiteers would have lots of appeal. the "People's Guide to the RNC" would be one 
source of info. I think Left Turn also had something on them
let me know what ya'll think.
HOLLA BAAAACK!!

solid,
frank

we have poster companies interested in it. the reason we haven't done it is cost--at least $3,000.

e.g.,

they cause; 
> a poster breaking down the typical fast-food meal, showing all  the paths and inputs from oil, water, genetic 
engineering, habitat destruction and agri-business to your happy meal;
