James Warhola Wants to Inject a Little Humor into Our Political Discourse.
Las Vegas, NV, February 22, 2018 --(PR.com)-- James Warhola's work has encompassed science fiction,
fantasy, humor and children's books, but now the award winning illustrator and MAD Magazine “idiot”
has turned his attention to political satire. He is a featured guest at this weekend's Las Vegas Toy Con at
the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino, and he chose this opportunity to unleash his latest creation on the
world: a tongue-in-cheek “campaign poster” he hopes might someday rival Shepard Fairey's “Hope” in
popularity.
Fresh on the heels of an appearance at Sarasota, Florida's famous Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, where
he waxed nostalgic about his uncle Andy Warhol's work for the opening of the Gardens' “Warhol:
Flowers In The Factory” exhibit, Warhola now finds himself in Las Vegas, visiting roots of a different
sort at the convention's Gross Card Con as one of the primary perpetrators of Topps' Garbage Pail Kids.
His new poster, “Let's Trash America” - produced exclusively for the show - is, much like his GPK work,
equal parts humorous and horrifying. And perhaps oddly appropriate for these politically charged times
we live in.
James Warhola will be on hand throughout the weekend talking with fans, signing posters, and discussing
his plans to avoid getting into trouble over his work.
In 1987, he began to illustrate children's books, including The Pumpkinville Mystery, Eddie: Harold's
Younger Brother, The Tinderbox, and The Brave Little Tailor. In 2004, Warhola won the International
Reading Association's Award for Best Children's Non-Fiction Picture Book for his book Uncle Andy's: A
Faabbbulous Visit with Andy Warhol, his recount of a family trip to New York City to see his uncle and
grandmother. In 2009, he wrote and illustrated the sequel Uncle Andy's: Uncle Andy's Cats. For more
