Just saw this thread... sorry if I'm beating the dead horse of a 2 month old post, but I just wanted to put my 2 cents in and perhaps give some context to that piece:
Yes, it's a copy of an existing work, and yes, as one poster so astutely observed, it was meant to be a bit ironic given the title of the original piece. The context here has been lost over the 6 years since I printed that poster. It was originally created as part of a series for a string of electronic music shows we put on in sacramento. The "flower" logo is the logo of the "command collective", our electronic music collective at the time (command, as in command key, as in that logo) We , as electronic musicians at the turn of the century were into sampling, and I thought for this particular set of shows, a bit of visual sampling was in order.
anyways, I realize it's not incredibly original, and it wasn't really created for that purpose, it was created to promote a show that happened 6 years ago and to re-create a famous image in a more minimal and efficient way. A lot of people ended up collecting them around town from the poles and the shows, so I thought I'd make them commercially available given that the copyright, country, and designer of the original had all expired.
