Currency Exchange from GONZO247 of Aerosol Warfare
"This is tha Gonzilla Lady Thrilla coming at ya in full effect (like your grandpaw on Viagra) representing the Aerosol Warfare crew down here on the 3rd coast. I wanted to drop you a line to let in on the Happs out here in the Dirty South!
Project:
Currency Exchange
Process:
A stencil is cut with a particular image. Each image is sprayed on 50 to 100 bills (making each stenciled note a limited edition piece of art). The Notes are then used in everyday transactions and thus begins the Journey (but without Steve Perry). At the end of the 50/100 run, the Stencil is destroyed, solidifying the series and forcing the creation of a new (image) stencil. Rinse, Lather, Repeat. The average dollar bill is exchanged many times in 1 day (much more in its lifespan). Now... I know I didn't invent this wheel, but I'mma put a 20 inch rim on it! By placing art on the back of the Note it now becomes a traveling art gallery taking art everywhere from a Strippers G-String to a Collection Plate at Church (and every crevasse in between)!
Purpose:
To infiltrate, penetrate, and conjugate the system. What better way to get 'Inside' than to sneak a free ride on the Paper that feeds the Machine? This isn't Defacing the green-back, it's REfacing! When these notes were created, they were created based on an "America" that no longer exists. The Notes do not represent today's America....so what better way to update America than to give its paper a Face Lift? On the commodity side, is this note now worth more than the gold that backs it?
Implementation:
The New Notes will be distributed in Houston, TX...NYC & Chicago (we will see where they go from there). The Super Bowl is in full effect in Houston this weekend, so this is a great opportunity to unleash the Notes. Seeing how there are over 140 thousand people from all over the world in town for this event, there is no telling where these Notes will end up.
Examples Shown:
1. "Pork Barrel Rises"
2. "Feed the Rich while you bury the Poor"
3. "Why talk to my kid? The TV keeps him company!"
This is GONZO247 from Texas reporting live from a Payphone, signing out....
