Gallery: Shell Game Illustrates Occupy and the Revolutions of 2011
01Syntagma Athena
*Syntagma Athena* — "Greek anti-austerity protests. All graffiti is real, translated from my trip to Athens. The protester dogs are Loukanikos, Greek's famous riot dog. The main figure has Maalox, a DIY teargas remedy, over her eyes," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Syntagma-Athena.jpg))
02Indignada
*Indignada* — "Spanish m15 anti-austerity movement. The woman becomes a building representing the Museo Municipal, and is decked with Spanish republican flags. Toma La Calle was a slogan of m15," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Indignada.jpg))
03Debt and Her Debtors
*Debt and her Debtors* — "About debt, unsurprisingly, and the false promise and extreme falls it offers," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Debt-and-Her-Debtors.jpg))
04A New England
*A New England* — "Protester, foxes, and police dog hounds, with referances to CCTV cams, the phone hacking scandal, UK Uncut, the Fortnam and Mason sit in. The main figure is modeled after my friend and journalist Laurie Penny," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/A-New-England.jpg))
05Degage
*Degage* — "the Tunisian Revolution. The main figure's face is divided in a reference to Nadia Jelassi. The police dog destroys a fruit stand, like that of Mohammad Bouazizi," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Degage.jpg))
06The Business of Illness
*The Business of Illness* — "Healthcare crisis in America. The Hippocratic oath is written on the receipt-body of the main figure," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/The-Business-of-Illness.jpg))
07The Hivemind
The Hivemind — "Hacktivists. References to Anonymous, LulzSec, HB Gary, Telecomix, Tor, the Pirate Party, and of course Nyan Cat," Crabapple says. "On hivemind, the binary is real. It says 'we are legion,' 'we do not forgive, we do not forget, expect us,' and 'none of us are as cruel as all of us.' Eleanor Saitta and [Quinn Norton](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/opinion/2012/12/a-eulogy-for-occupy/) both helped me extensively with research on the piece."

08Great American Bubble Machine
*The Great American Bubble Machine* — "Inspired by the Matt Taibbi article of the same name," Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Great-American-Bubble-Machine.jpg))
09Our Lady of Liberty Park
*Our Lady of Liberty Park* — "Occupy Wall Street. An anatomy of Zuccotti park, from the free cigarette table to the obnoxious drum circle to the people's library, with appearances by Tim Pool, Shamar Thomas and Tony Bologna. All signage is authentic, especially 'Shit is Fucked up and bullshit,'" Crabapple says. ([view large](http://stag-komodo.wired.com/design/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Our-Lady-of-Liberty-Park.jpg))
10WheelOfFortune
"A wheel of fortune. It will spin," says Crabapple.
