Title
Cash or Credit ? Chasing the Almighty Dollar
Artist
Douglas Fromm
Medium
Mixed Media - Collage
Description
A paper collage created from a magazine illustration and a “found object”, which is a “road kill” dollar bill that I found in a parking lot. The dollar bill is not glued on with adhesive, but attached with scotch tape. This is “ In Case of Emergency “, in other words, if I am ever down to my last dollar I can detach it and use for my last supper. Otherwise one of my (Lucky?) relatives will inherit it.

Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, Donna….I remember when I was in elementary school many years ago that my parents gave me one dollar a week as an allowance for doing chores, and every Saturday I went to a double feature movie and bought popcorn, candy, and a giant soda - all with that one dollar !
