BP’s Oil Used as Paint For ” Oil & Water Do Not Mix” Posters [Bp Oil Disaster]

I admire the series of photos of Anthony Burrill using oil from Louisiana beaches left from the BP oil disaster for his posters. From something so horrible comes something pretty eye-catching-and beneficial for the charity the profits support.

From scooping up the oil, to the gunk being used as paint within the screen-printer, the photos paint a story of the BP oil disaster six months later. Burrill said of his posters ” here’s a perception among a lot of persons that the oil within the Gulf of Mexico is simply going to somehow disappear…For people within the Gulf, including Louisiana, the results of this disaster shall be around for many years.”

Profits for the sale of the 200 posters shall be donated to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, a voluntary organization that protects and restores the coastline. They cost $210 each (after converting from 150 Euros), which isn’t cheap, but considering they’re limited edition screen-prints signed by the artist and for a worthy cause, I’m sure they’ll be snapped up right away.
