These prints are a continuation of my series on the effect of consumerism on America. The top print deals with the issue of kids driven to sit and play video games rather than be driven to get up and move around. I wish they knew how much they are missing by glueing themselves to the box.
The next print is another one of those little ridiculous things that people do. They believe they are contributing to a cause by plastering their possessions (vehicles) with bumper stickers that are in support of those causes. In actuallity, if they would stop purchasing and using the bumper stickers, they would probably actually do something worthwhile, like save a tree...

The Ridiculous Drive of Consumerism in America, 2007

Lithography

There are too many things wrong with this country today. This print is one in a series of the little things we can change on a daily basis to turn the world around. In this print, The Ridiculous Drive of Consumerism in America, I have portrayed a sight that is becoming all too common every year - Christmas in September. As a part-time mail carrier, I witness on a first-hand basis how much consumerism is getting out of hand. Every year, on the first mail days after Labor Day, the holiday catalogs come out, big-time. I see how more people than one would guess get more than 20 catalogs in a day! Tell me the world is not whacked seriously...

Honore' Daumier and George Bellows have really peaked my interest this semester. I love Bellows' quality of value in his prints. Daumier was a man heavy on sarcasm, which is always up my alley.
