This is one of my more recent projects.

Me and a friend were discussing the variety of possible authoritarian states in different historical circumstances: from the industrial era authoritarian states to post-industrial and futuristic conditions like in post-apocalyptic setting.

Sometime during that fun discussion I had the idea of making a random authoritarian poster or warning sign but make it look like it was printed on a very old run down printing press with ink or grease smearing all over the paper.

And this is the result.

Doesn't really serve any purpose, just did it for personal enjoyment.

I really like this. Excellent job. Perhaps I should have a real sign made like this to put on the edge of my property.

I really like this.
It looks great and the message is clear.

Anarchy is worse in my eyes than liberalism, it is totally unnatural.

:) I talk with anarchists all day, I understand their frustrations but their hate of authority always seems to have more of an emotional basis rather than a logical one

All I've spoken to have nothing logical to say at all. It seems to be an image only thing.

Anarchism was always a stupid concept to me anyways.

Great work! I have a question though, do you mind if I use it in a video?

Not at all, so long as you give a link to the video so I can see it.

Now THIS is funny!

I would like to point out that while I think the idea of no government is stupid, the idea of too much government is arguably worse. It shocks me how many people find the ideal form of government in primitive practices. There is very little difference between a tribe with no laws, and a tribe where every law is sacred--regardless of the reasons, or lack thereof, power is abused routinely, leading to inefficiency, and inevitably, failure.
