Shit and Die
1985

A print featuring the phrase "SHIT AND DIE" in capital letters, centered on a rectangular piece of paper with rough edges. The text appears to be etched or engraved with visible lines and texture, suggesting a printmaking process. The paper is mounted on a larger, blank sheet with a signature and date '94 in the lower right corner.
