Print also has logos for Full Sail Brewing Company and Widmer Brothers Brewing Company in the lower left and right corners.
Only 120 of these posters were created, and of these, only about 40 remain intact.
Artist Gary Houston wrote to a collector:
"First off, the Ani poster is screen printed... and what you have is a pretty rare piece...
Ms DiFranco's attourneys were not happy that we did a poster and demanded that we
send them our stock... We complied by cutting the remaining posters, about 80, in quarters, and put them in a small box, and mailed them... We figured if we couldn't use them, neither could they... Your poster should be signed by both Mike and myself..."
At the top and bottom of the print are close reproductions of the tattoo Ani has on her clavicle. The logo is a hand holding up a heart, reminding of that part of the song, “Outta Me, Onto You” which goes:
Some people wear their heart upon their sleeve
I wear mine underneath my right pantleg
Strapped to my boot
Well don’t think cuz I’m easy I’m naïve
Don’t think I won’t pull it out
Don’t think I won’t shoot
(Which makes sense, since Dilate came out in 1996.)
Champoeg State Park is along the south bank of the Willamette River in Oregon.
