U2: Modern Toss
Cover for U2's The Joshua Tree, reimagined by Modern Toss for Beck's Music Inspired Art project, reducing Bono's pompous attempt at transcendence to a squawk of mundane frustration. I'm a big fan of the Modern Toss duo's wonkily drawn, silly, frequently violent, and sweary cartoons: dada satire applied to the frustrations of everyday life. They do film posters, too.

You again prove to have marvelous taste! I'm rather taken with the idea of 2001: A Space Argument. Can you imagine the petty little arguments and the sullen silences, all done by Kubrick?
I'm seeing Tony Hancock and Sid James, for some reason.
I just did a genuine laugh out loud at that idea. Suddenly, space travel is tranformed into Sid and Tony arguing in the flat in East Cheam. It could be an English 'Dark Star.'
