November 8, 1997 - U2 Pop Mart
A St. Louis radio station ran a "Pop Art for Pop Mart" contest for U2 tickets. I submitted several items in a see through poster holder. I won tickets and took my then girlfriend to the show. I threw away all of the art entries. I recreated two of the submissions at the bottom of the page. One was a drawing of Max Beckman's woodcut portrait. Maybe I thought they would think it was Bono. I also created a monkey to man thing from U2's own designers. Take a look at the videos of the show from Mexico. The opening is similar to a prize fighter entering the ring.

Kunst Automatica
Germany has Art Vending machines in various cities. Here are the ones I found. I display the kunst box first to separate each section. The machine is shown, follwed by the art and then the artist bio included in the box and other images from the internet by the artist. Some cards have something on the back.
