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.
