Pride & Joy Alternative Version
I’ve talked to Scott a bit about this image and decided to go in the opposite direction.
Where I interrupt Scott’s image as the Former Soviet Republic’s(USSR) version of embracing the bomb and how it affected the country, my version is how the US loved the bomb.
After the dropping of the 2nd A Bomb and the end of WW2, the US had unprecedented economic growth and prosperity.
That’s what this picture is trying to represent.
It’s a total rework of an ancient Australian cartoon from the late 1940s.
I’m still searching for the artists name though you wouldn’t recognise the original if you ever found it
I needed it for the advertising style and feel of the pic.
The shitty recolouring and clone-brushing is a testament to my paintshop skills.
That should do for this year I reckon.

really says it al – and it’s a good reminder of the darker side of capitalism
while Christmas inspires a shopocalypse, wars do so much more

I have seen a lot of these in vintage russian posters…..there was a series of WWI US soldiers they illustrated with dollar bill signs as pupils of the eyes.

i can personally recommend ‘atomic cafe’. to anyone who wants to understand what happens when xenophobia meets nuclear capability, as it did in the fifties. the sound track is amazing.
i think the big difference between the soviet and american angles, is that whilst the russians were held under a demented unelected dictatorship, the amercians actually elected theirs. i don’t know what’s better
