ITEM OVERVIEW
Strike While It's Hot is a collection of the political graphics Josh MacPhee has produced over the past 10 years. Used on T-shirts, reproduced in zines, featured on book covers, and pasted on walls, these images have traveled around the world and back. And now these cards are certain to travel even further as postcards ready to mail.
Strike While it's Hot contains images to visually confront environmental destruction, racism, prisons and war, while lending support to international solidarity, the power of labor, and expressing the basic human dignity of all people.
"It is no longer enough today to lock ourselves in our studios and produce culture. We must engage in our world in as many ways as possible." —from Realizing the Impossible
