This "Play Safe" message was created for Dark Was The Night, a Red Hot release celebrating 20 years of dedication to fighting aids through pop culture. We wanted to push the message of preventing aids in a light and non-intrusive manner. Ace Hotel really liked it and wanted it to be featured in one of their rooms... so I did it. I think the placement of the message above the bed is perfect, humorous, and kind of charming in a weird way.
The "Play Safe" illustration will also be featured in Gail Anderson and Steven Heller's latest book entitled New Ornamental Type.
