Ben and the Fat Cat Banksters, 2011
By Billy Walsh
Original: 40" x 30" acrylic painting on stretched canvas
Available as: posters, fine art prints, and canvas reproductions
Commemorate an epic moment in history as the Fed's printing presses
continue to overheat and shower the banks with fiat money pushing the
world to the brink. Ben and the
Fat Cat Banksters is loaded with important messages about America's and the globe's
economic situation.
Symbolism and
Messages
- The Fed's
money printing press exploding to light the
right side of the "globe" carpet on fire
- A
money-rolled cigar dropping ashes to light the left
side of the "globe" carpet on fire
- Fat cat
excesses include: a gold G-Sachs charm, a
gold BofA belt buckle, gold JPM capped teeth, smoke dollar signs being
blown, guzzling a martini, passing out with an empty beer mug, a
money-folded paper airplane (on floor toward bottom right), torn pants
for becoming too "big for the britches"
- "HYPER" printing level symbolizing the potential
of hyperinflation
- A cat litter box painted like the American
flag
What do customers and critics say?
"I
have been waiting a long time for art that
teaches ignored lessons of economics. Ben and the Fat Cat Banksters is
a great and timely start."
