6 figures sounds like a lot of money just to produce Republican campaign art/propoganda for a year but its awfully hard to pass up.
Would you?

Judging by the poster he put up at his website, I don't think he has. But I'd bet Bush would love it.

Well you are right, I am not about to sell out.
But in truth I have passed on far more than $1,000,000.
I was approached 3 times by "the company".
3 times I said no.
And 3 times there was revenge for my decision.
but that is all ancient history now.

I have been thinking of a stunt...
I have the money to make and rent and insure a billboard off the Red line metro commuter train outside Washington DC to sear an image into the mind of my fellow Americans.

The question is which one.

I'd take the money. I'm an artist, not a politician.

For $100,000 I'd go under water and fuck fish, but I draw the line at doing anything for a Republican candidate.

No... I'll take that back. If somebody else wants to shoot the Republican, I'd be glad to sell his/her family a nice hand-thrown ceramic funeral urn.

I once had a friend who was a republican candidate. That was OK, because he was honest about being a crook.

I would not pass up 6 figures if one of them belonged to Winona Ryder. Other than that, well, money is nice, but it can't match freebasing iguanas on a hot Sunday afternoon...

Given the appalling standard of my art, they would never use it ... so, yes, I'd take the money from their campaign funds!

If you want to say irrationally bigotted, hateful things it's OK if you're talking about Republicans.

Good thing the "hate speech" laws never passed.

There are a lot of things I wouldn't do for six figures, or seven, or twenty, or three, or one, or a hundred. One of them is help the current batch of Republicans. Another is, I wouldn't do PR work for big tobacco. I wouldn't kill anybody.

I've lead a pretty sheltered life in many ways, so all of this may be a little too easy for me to say -- but I don't think I would do any of these things.

Only if it required me giving up my beautiful partner - for anything else you bet I'd do it -

Take the money, and produce copy which is subversive and ironic, secure in the knowledge that they'd not understand the sub-text...
