This is one of numerous posters that Chwast has designed to promote his appearances at graphic design events, benefits, and conferences all over the United States. Like the others, this one is based on a clever, comic conceit—Chwast portrays himself silhouetted in half profile in a handled cooking pot referencing the Oklahoma Panhandle (and perhaps implying that he expects to be “cooked” or “roasted” during his presentation to the Graphic Communications Society in Oklahoma City).
