[Atompunk] call for atompunk artists and exploring of concept definition

[carmin karasic]

Hey

for years I have been thinking about sampeling russian propaganda posters to
procude re-mixes of anti-islam propaganda.  The idea is to show the paranoia
parallel.  Of course I would have to look at the russian posters to see if
the periods match the atomic age, but it may work...  If so -- I could do a
series for gogbot.

peace,
carmin
