Your CEO makes 285 times more than you. (Open edition)

A relief print of rows of identical, sad-looking workers sitting in front of computers. There are surveillance cameras in the rafters and a banner that reads "Reach for the Stars".

It’s true! According to the AFL-CIO Paywatch, the average CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 285-to-1 for S&P 500 Index companies in 2024.¹

Whether you’re a barista at Starbucks or sipping Starbucks while working in a white-collar tech (sweat)shop, towing the line won’t make you the next in line to life on easy street. We’re all cogs in the wheel of the modern neo-liberal exploitation machine. This piece is a reminder to not buy into Corporate propaganda. The solution to exploitation is solidarity!

Details

All my relief prints are hand-carved and hand-printed in my home studio using oil-based ink on high quality papers, designed to last a lifetime or more. Limited runs include the edition size, title, and artist signature in pencil underneath the print. Open runs are stamped with my artist seal.

Because all my prints are original hand-made items there will be small variations from piece to piece that give each print its own unique characteristics. Photos are representative, but please be aware that the specific piece that you will receive when making a purchase will have minor variations from the photos shown here.
