I think I'm alright with thinking of it as art even though it is a mass-reproduced piece probably never touched by the artist--my only problem is what to do with the artist's "signature" label which seems tacked-on by a factory worker at an odd place in the middle of a field of color, lower right. In the photo, it is hidden strategically by a t.v. I guess I'll have to do the same--put it behind a potted plant? I love it anyway.... I do love this piece by Maxine Sutton.

i agree, santorum is awful and oh how i wish anthropologie’s CEO didn’t donate to santorum, but i really think there’s a big difference between buying an artist’s print and funding gay bashing.

so, let’s consider this opinion noted, for the like 4000th time.

Yes, one of the biggest contributors to Rick Santorum's election campaign is that corporation we all love to think of as indie and fun, Urban outfitters. Just google "santorum and urban outfitters."

It's an identical reproduction of the artist's work...done in stitching and screen print on fabric. It's framed behind glass in a shadowbox. Just as an fyi...from a little birdie who knows. :-) The Maxine Sutton artwork isn’t a print. It’s an identical reproduction of the artist’s work…done in stitching and screen print on fabric.
