Bad Money
Bad Money is a quizzical and somewhat sarcastic look at our currency in relation to other countries. This sampling of denominations also speaks to the choice of characters we hold dear, regardless of their political or personal shortcomings. Perhaps it is time to rethink these choices?– From the studio of Thomas Wojak, Professor Emeritus (CCA, Oakland, CA)
