Artwork for the Blue-Haired Masses

Hi there!
So I’ve been spending part of the day doing some preliminary artwork screwing around with scrap paper and a Sharpie for Hair and I suppose I really should hie myself to the library and actually do some research. I do have an interesting design going to the actual stage floor – a large sun with the center ball filled with the handprints and footprints of the cast in a contrasting color, and the “flares” are iconic images. One is an American flag design with a peace sign of stars, another is a camo pattern with psychedelic colors, while the one opposite has the “jungle green” colors. One says “flower power” in the shape of the flare, and another say “make love not war” in the same shape. . .
There are also two large exit doors in the space that I thought I could have some fun with . . .
I love how these have endless psychedelic possibilities to them. I remember when I did this show in college and I did all the graffiti for that show, and it was really an organic experience. And before you say, “I bet it was, Valkyrie” . . . well, never mind. I’ve also found some photos and I’ve shamelessly copied some R. Crumb artwork. I really like this sun idea, though. It’s pretty cool. Unfortunately, I need ideas for one more flare:
1. American flag with peace symbol of stars
2. Camouflage
3. Psycho-jello camouflage
4. Flower Power
5. Make Love not War
6. ??????
And keeping in mind that this is a *censored* version of this show . . . as much as I’d like to put images up like this:
Unfortunately, no.
Happiness is a warm . . . indeed.
