“Tighten Your Belt” (if you even have a belt left to tighten!) -and “Is the Party Over?”

The top image posted here, of the man contemplating his ample sized pants, was created for Business Week magazine, and the bottom two images are from an illustration I created quite a few years ago for a magazine article about that year's champagne industry's low sales figures... and it seemed also an appropriate metaphor for the current US economy's dramatic negative stock market reversals. (I added the "2008" onto the bottle's label, to make it time appropriate)

My new title for this image should be, "From Cristal Back to Kool-Aid"
