Matt Straub Ain't No Time To Argue! Print On Sale Today GIDDYUP

"This print was made from a very large painting by same name. Often I find that paintings are more powerful without text—thus the empty speech bubble. This is not traditional western art. If you appreciate vintage art styles, Pulp novel covers, Golden Age Comics, the romanticizing of the West, POP art, or just like a tough painting of Hell Cats and outlaws my work is for you.This series has some hand embellishments on the top of the print. I have used some Krink and spray paint because these materials are cheap, fast and loud! In my distant past I had a graffiti and street art background." - Matt Straub

Look very closely at this Matt Straub work for a second or two. Now close your eyes and ask yourself this question: Whom did you identify with almost automatically? The shooter or the man being shot?

The iconography of popular culture - a nexus of symbols that any person raised on comics or graphic novels is familiar with - is a deceptively straightforward one. All we need is the context of plot and characters in order to validate the linear logic of correct actions and reactions. Without that context, however, there is only a surmise that a bullet has found the right trajectory of justice. The quick and the dead are almost instinctively translated to the right and the wrong.

The masked man in the picture doesn't seem that eager to voice an opinion. For that matter, would he have to?

All prints are Signed & Numbered by the Artist and come with a Certificate of Authenticity from 1xRUN.
