October 2008 - W
Oliver Stone released the film W about President George Bush. I believe there was a 'Mashup Contest' of some sort. Here is my entry. Still need to find info on the contest.

Bush Jr Birthday - June 22, 2006
In summer 2006, Sheryl Oring staged a cross-country tour of "The Birthday Project." For this work, Oring wore a 1960s party dress and set up a portable "birthday party" in parks and flea markets. As people passed by, she invited them to send cards to the President for his 60th birthday. Using a manual typewriter, she typed their thoughts onto the card. With this project, Oring offered people across a broad spectrum of society a chance to extend very personal wishes to the President on this landmark birthday, thereby painting an intimate portrait of American views on the presidency halfway through his second term in office.
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.

The Experiment July 15, 2009
I was filmed in two scenes. I exited the Mars Cafe and gave down and out actor Ethan Cohn a dollar. This was cut from the final film. I was an extra at the High Life bar scene. My glasses were taken off. I am not sure you can see me in the background sitting at a table with another guy. Someday I will confirm again. Friend Ian Miller was a production assistant on the film.
