NEW SCREENPRINT
A new limited edition classic cartoon screenprint, based on the cartoon ‘Global Warming’ is now available, printed by Paul Peisley (I helped) at Megalo Print Studio in Canberra. It’s the ‘Your concern about global warming has been placed in a queue’ cartoon that many of you will know. This is the screenprint I was going to make in 2007, and then the Rudd Government was elected and I held off, because it definitely sounded like they really did ‘give a
damn about the environment’. So now I say to all my more cynical (more realistic) friends – you were right. (Sigh)
How wonderful it would be if this cartoon really was to go out of date!
As a small helping gesture, for every 5 of my screenprints sold by mail or fax order, I’ll donate one ‘Global Warming’ screenprint to an environment group to use for fundraising (or whatever they’d like). This applies to any of the screenprint designs, to any 5 people – i.e. if you buy any screenprint, you’ll be making a donation of a fifth of a ‘Global Warming’ print. (You’ll just have to trust my counting.) This offer is valid until the end of 2009. Click here to go to the Global warming screenprint page with details on how to buy.
