After Sinclair Lewis

Some time ago, painter Matthew Sepielli mentioned the Temporary Allegiance project at UIC (started by Philip von Zweck) and it has stuck with me for a while.

Now that the exhibit project is suspended, I finally have followed through on an idea. The banner is 4x6 feet and digitally printed on nylon (I had them made by Humphry's Flag Company in Old City Philadelphia, whose store is right across the street from Betsy Ross's House). The text reads:

When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross

I am planning to offer a limited edition of them...
