Part of the edition / power in numbers exhibition from Bodhi Art Gallery, Brick Lane (7th May - 27th of May) this witty illustration from Steve has been hand pulled by James Hurst (Cure Studio) and Fred Higginson (Print Club London) in a limited edition of 50.
'Keep Spending and Stay in Debt' is inspired by the supreme genius of the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' poster from 1939 which has now been littered across the media to the point of annoyance. However, my 2009 version highlights a new invasion; labeled as a ‘Global credit crunch’, but really the result of greedy capitalists who knew better, but failed to care.
This poster represents the first in the series of my Democrazy collection. A collection ‘in response to the uncertain, unchartered, unforgivable deep waters we now find ourselves’. It's satire, but with a (kind of) serious message.
The print is 50cm by 50cm and has been hand numbered and embossed as a mark of authenticity. It is a limited edition of 50. The paper is Heritage White which is an archival paper and printed in Neptune Inks (which gives this an amazing shine). It will be posted via registered post in a safety tube.
