Response To COVID-19
“In late September despite an ever rising death toll, President Trump told us of the Coronavirus “It affects virtually nobody.” After flouting the science on the virus for the majority of the year and telling Americans that there’s nothing to worry about, Trump himself contracted the virus along with dozens around him after following his lackadaisical attitude toward safety in the midst of a deadly global pandemic. The jig is up as they say. But rather than having a new-found empathy for the 210,000 Americans who have lost their lives to this virus after his own health scare the President doubles down on the tough guy act. He continues to deny the seriousness of the situation. At his scene at the White House standing on the balcony after returning from Walter Reed Medical Center he stood looking Mussolini-esque posing for the cameras with heavy, labored breaths and tried to look his version of Presidential as he proclaimed his victory over the virus. However, the reality is much grimmer. After contracting the virus, with his poll numbers already slipping catastrophically and the IRS after him for massive tax evasion it’s become obvious that ‘The Emperor Has No Clothes’. He’s sick, broke, in legal jeopardy and on the verge of losing the election. Please vote and help put an end to this American nightmare that has been the Trump Administration.”

Learn The Facts About How the Trump Administration Failed to Respond to COVID-19 for Months
“It affects virtually nobody.” – Donald J Trump said in a rally in Ohio on September 21, 2020.
The CDC began warning the United States about COVID-19 and the possibility of a pandemic in February 2020. The Trump administration waited until mid March to declare COVID-19 a national emergency. As of July 2020, the United States leads the world in the total number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, as well as the total number of deaths due to COVID-19. Trump’s main concern? That the situation was unfair to him personally.

Artist Info
Justin Hampton has been creating powerful and resonant artwork since 1990. He got his start in Seattle as a freelance illustrator under the art direction of graphic designer Art Chantry at The Rocket; a monthly music magazine that was ground zero during the Grunge era. Three decades later he is renowned as one of the most recognizable contemporary rock poster artists and has garnered international attention. His bold line work and sublime color palette mixed with a vivid imagination are unmistakable. His work can be seen in galleries, clubs and homes around the globe. Hampton’s work has published a multitude of books including the definitive tome of the gig poster genre; The Art of Modern Rock. Justin was also prominently highlighted in the documentary movie ‘American Artifact, the rise of American rock poster art.’ The film is in the permanent collection of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Hampton’s collaborative poster for the movie with his cohorts in Post Neo Explosionism (or PNE) was also added to the museum’s archives. Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) has archived countless numbers of his prints and originals for their permanent museum collection as well.
Born in Santa Cruz California and raised in southern Oregon, Hampton moved to Seattle after high-school where he got his start working as a professional artist. His influences are pop culture based from street art and Skate-Punk to comic book greats like Jack Kirby as well as the Post-Impressionist work of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. He has designed posters for the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica, NIN, Radiohead, Ween, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Primus, Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan and Motörhead to name a few. Hampton designed artwork for the now infamous ‘Grey Album’ for super producer Danger Mouse.
His clients have included Rolling Stone, Guitar World, Lollapalooza, Spin, Interscope Records, Village Voice, Sports Illustrated, Maxim, Vibe, FHM, Oakley Goggles, Target, Dreamworks, Empire, ESPN Magazine, Details, Spike and Mike’s Twisted Animation Festival, Bravado, Blender, Seattle’s Showbox & The Paramount Theatres, Dr Marten Shoes and Snowboarder as a short list.
Hampton’s comic books ‘Twitch’ and ‘Rat’ have also received rave reviews. His animated short ‘The Jaded Monk’, based on a character of his own creation, was accepted to the 2002 Seattle International Film Festival and the 2003 One Reel Festival.
Justin lives in Portland, Oregon with his son Miles, daughter Maya and his dog Ruby.
