Abstract:
Multicolored illustration of an old blue and rust colored farm truck hauling marijuana down a road at night. The background features the dark countryside in blues and greens. The night sky is shades of blue with white stars and a yellow full moon. The name of the brand of marijuana is in yellow and green 3D lettering. Additional text is in red and gold. The illustration is bordered in red with text about the California Homegrowers Association in white. The artists' names and copyright information are at the very bottom of the card in black print. This is one of several images the artists collaborated on, featuring a series of iconic marijuana brand label parodies they called the California Homegrowers Association. The fake brands they created were illustrations inspired by the California produce crate-style agricultural labels of the day. Text on the postcard verso is in black print.
