Hey,
I seem to remember seeing a picture of Grant Wood's American Gothic with
Dead skeletons in it. Am I just halluncinating, or does this exist? And if
so, could someone let me know where I might find a gif or jpeg of it?
Peace,
Jon

The American Gothic artwork was created by Steve Johannsen on assignment from
the folks at Relix Magazine. It was used as a cover of Relix and then licensed
for a poster. The poster was made for a very short period of time.

Steve then decided that he really didn't license the artwork for a poster, and
Relix had to stop making it. It was a great poster and deserved wider
circulation than it did.
