I put two images together a while ago to make this mash-up. I consider this combined image to be art because it takes the parody of the hopes and dreams of an era embodied in Nixon’s outstretched arms and takes a step back to contrast it with American Mickey.
I rediscovered it when someone ‘liked’ a whole set of my images that had auto-posted from my Posterous blog to Facebook.
So I am taking it out for another airing.
