A la "Pop Art" (Jasper Johns, Warhol, Claes Oldenberg) we have 'Budweiser/BeerLao'. The image is done to look early 70's, but the idea behind the connection is very 2010. Notice the "Budweiser" can is just a little bit bigger. And note that almost all beer brands are now owned by just three huge corporate entities that span the globe.

Life, to a certain extent, is simply about how willing you are to accept death.

Well this one doesn't really work out here. It's just too small and you can't see it. It's really very basic, but it's also interesting. It's just an intersection in Manhattan along Canal Street. Hardly anyone in the center is looking forward, but there are a few people along the sides that you can see, and the one Asian gentleman to the left is clearly looking at the camera. If this was enlarged to about 12' across it would be an interesting slice of life. Then you could mix it with other 'slices of life' (perhaps a wheat field in Nebraska, something from a swamp in Florida, day workers waiting outside a Home Depot in San Diego, fishermen along a pier, the line outside of a nightclub in Vegas) and you've got something. Will I ever actually get that printed up and make a work of art out of it? - probably not, but the idea is there, and that's good enough for me.
