An 8ft! wheatpasted stencil
The Winter in America theme was chosen by a few artists, i’m told inspired by the Gil Scott-Heron song of the same name. I now can’t get it out of my head, especially since I pass one of the wheatpastes on my way to work each day. Hopefully it will be stuck in your head too!

A statement from Chris Stain’s blog:
“The theme for these pieces was inspired by the current state of affairs in america and the overtaxation of the poor and rising heating costs. the style itself was inspired by the woodcuts of the german expressionists and ny artists swoon, and josh macphee. all posters are $20 and a portion of the proceeds will go to HEAP to help people pay for heat this winter. you can order them by contacting me at stainitd@yahoo.com thanks!”
