APPROACH

I want­ed to per­son­i­fy the oil spill as a sea mon­ster, to give peo­ple a sense of how dan­ger­ous it could be. The Gulf States are in the grips of an oily octo­pus to show how these states put them­selves in har­m’s way to help feed Amer­i­ca’s need for oil. 

One of the biggest challenges with any hand silkscreened poster is registration. I worked hard to ensure that the colors lined up perfectly, and that the printing was of the highest quality.
