This appeared on what used to be a Ritz Photo shop. It is somewhat reminiscent of Banksy (who I should write more about and will soon).

This artist is taking on a lot in one graphic (the American Bison, the crippled military? the tie dye...) are they saying that the American military is defunct, or that the hippies are? It's intreguing... and at the very lowest explination "cool", but I'm not really sure of what's going on.
