Moneybags (Original)

Painted over an aluminum newspaper comics page lithography plate from 1989, this piece contrasts childhood imagination with adult pursuit. The figure stands heavy with two skull-marked moneybags, a rewind symbol hovering behind him. Innocence to accumulation. Which one is the reward?

This is the original art (13"x22"), one of one, made with acrylic, spray paint, and ink on an original aluminum Los Angeles Times comics printing plate, circa 1989.

Prints of this piece are also available in the prints section.
