Artist/Maker

Poster featuring a black-and-white design, with the white representing the air and the black representing the sea. On the left side, large, uppercase black text reads: "DON'T BUY YOUR FISH FROM A BUTCHER." Below it, in red uppercase text, the words "ICELAND KILLS WHALES. DON'T BUY THEIR FISH." The Greenpeace logo appears in white in the bottom-right corner.

To the right, an image of a harpoon mounted on the front of a whaling ship dominates the scene, rendered in a high-contrast, gritty style.
