You’re A Wan*k%r

This is the second installment of the street posters that I did in 1995. This one incorporates some English slang, the word “wanker” which isn't a word that's used very much here and it's not really understood. Which is why I used it. The poster says, “you're a wanker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And you're not alone either”....Dopey jerking off on what looks like a Tapies painting. And what I was saying in a very simple way was that Tapies, the famous Catalan painter, was a wanker. And so was everybody else here who paints and on top of that it is grammatically incorrect; literally translated wrong English syntax. It should have been written “Y tampoco estas solo”. That's what happens when you don’t have someone correct your grammar before you make a poster.

Poor Archie. He’s confused. But he’ll figure it out -- eventually. 
Love is love isn’t love. Well, whatever it is, they at least got laid. Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Tell that to Archie.
