I saw an exhibit of wild, B (and lower, mostly) movie posters at a museum.
Among them was one for ""Bigfoot"" [sic--title had scare quotes], 1971 marketed as a monster wilder than King Kong (with requisite girl in ape's grasp).

I also saw a terrific exhibit of Shepard Fairey's work. He is the guy who did the iconic Obama poster. He has a career of very interesting Warhol-inspired, Orwell-themed kind of posters...lots of They in GR's sense one might say. Anyway, he did some People-on-a-bill kind of posters not that long ago...including NIXONMONEY. 

A..and, did yuoo know that Andy Warhol tried to do a floating lightbulb 
piece back in the day?  He couldn't but he ended up doing his silver balloon room....doing a nice associative riff on why silver? including money, photography, glamour, celebrity and silver screen.....(and probably more)
