spare some change nah but i hope things look up

Full title: "Hey, Can You Spare Some Change? Nah, But I Hope That Things Get Better For You" 

Both individuals are holding out their hands upward for help, one for a handout and the other for getting up. The sitting individual is at the base of a stop sign, octagon, and the other individual has his pocket out, indicating, “I’ve got no money.” Trash or garbage clutters their feet and the street around them. The purpose of this kind of imagery begs the question, “Where does the buck stop?” and emphasizes the idea that “money is nothing but paper.” A random person in the distance is walking around aimlessly. The shaded, looming figure behind them suggests a series of closely built or cluttered structures or a large individual overlooking their actions, with her/his hands resting as if on a throne of sorts. The squiggly lines behind and around the large, looming buildings or figure suggests confusion, chaos, and messiness. The words “change” and “hop” in the title are derived from the political message closely associated with Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
