Works

Olmsted's work tends to make obvious political statements, commenting on such things as the deleterious effects of civilization and the destruction of the natural world. Olmsted even donated a drawing to be used as a cover for a CD to benefit the E.L.F./A.L.F. North American Press Office. He has also done album art for To What End?, and Black Breath. Olmsted recently had a print used in the book Expect Resistance, as well as on limited-edition postcards, both published by anarchist collective CrimethInc..[2]
