Why are you calling this new work?? This poster is my grandfather's art work. It
was done with tempera paint!! It is
considered one of the top World War I
posters. He did many others to carve out a meager
living, but often the printers would airbrush
his and other illustrators' signatures off. My grandfather was not a rich man and a bit
of an angliphile who freely contributed his
time and talent to war effort after losing
colleagues on the Lusitania.
The original poster artwork was amazing and
inspirational -- I borrowed the artwork
because I myself am not as talented an artist
as your grandfather and wanted to carry forth
the message of the original.
You'll notice that I did give credit to Gil
Spear, the original artist, in both the
description an the work itself.
The title "The New Work" refers to
hacking as the new form of public service, as
in the original work the reference was to the
YMCA during world war.

Are you sure the US won't kick you for this? Looks like a socialist propaganda thing to me :-)
factoryjoe (86 months ago | reply)
Except that the original was promoting a US service for the military called the "YMCA".
Sorry, but the socialists weren't the only ones with propanda. ;)

I've always liked this old WW2 style of art more than the new crap nowadays... too overproduced.
