At first, this piece just looks like a skull and crossbones colored to look like the American flag. However at a closer look, you notice not only the skull and flag but the crossbones are really two rifles, the eye is a oil barrel, the teeth are bombs and the nose is a oil tower. This would be considered un-American in many ways. "It's not anti-Christian. It's not anti-American. I'm just voicing my opinion about the (Iraq) war," the artist, Peter Nichols said. No matter the original reason behind the inspiration, the outcome is the same.
