Abstract:
Multicolored illustration of a spaceship shooting out marijuana cigarettes from space. The spaceship is yellow, orange and grey and shaped like an ashtray. The background is shades of black with stars and an orange ringed planet. The lettering of the title on the postcard is orange bordered by red. The word "brand' is in light blue. Other text at the bottom of the illustration is yellow. 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.
