UPDATE: 2 FULL SETS REMAINING! Special Edition of 10 sets. (5 sets of 10 will be sold as triptychs, the remaining will be sold as individual prints. Triptych set is 15% off individual print price).

The triptych is composed of 3 individual prints, each 23" x 17.5", with hand-applied glitter or gold leaf; digitally printed on archival paper; signed, dated, and numbered by Robbie Conal.

2021 is the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the 20th anniversary of the triptych I painted and the posters WATCHING WAITING DREAMING I made in response to that tragedy and our government's tragic response to it: the invasion of Iraq, bombing innocent people––and rubble (from our first war on lraq) into pebbles––based on totally fabricated intelligence. What would Gandhi have thought if he were WATCHING? Isn't there some other way to make social and political change other than to bomb the shit out of another country halfway around the world? The Dalai Lama has been WAITING for years to get his country back from invaders. Would Martin Luther King Jr. still be DREAMING of peace and justice for all, if he'd seen our government's substitution of surveillance for civil liberties in the "Patriot Act" after 9/11?

Twenty years later—looking around at the political violence we're living with today—I felt it was a good time to revisit these iconic heroes of non-violent political change! This edition differs from the original silkscreen triptych first printed by the great Karen Fiorito in 2006. I've shizzled up each print with some holiday spirit! Here's my new full color––with hand-applied glitter and gold leafed––very limited edition redux of the original silkscreen triptych.
