Abstract:
Illustration featuring a cartoon of a man wearing a white sombrero trimmed in red, brown and black popping out of a cigar box. The man is wearing a bandolier and has a stick of green dynamite in his mouth. The name of the brand is in red and black print. Additional text in black. On each side of the image is a circular gold seal featuring the name of the California Homegrowers Association. The illustration is bordered in red, blue, then brown. The artists' names and copyright information are at the 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.
