Barry was the 4th and youngest member to join the famed Push Pin Studios shortly after it was formed. PPS and the work they produced is still well known and respected to this day. His signature is in the bottom right corner.

This is Design 71120 per the rainlap diagram on the rear of top left Panel A1. My research indicates that this image was issued in 1971 based upon the first 2 digits in the design number.
21'x10' vintage billboard acquired in Very Good condition.
To save on printing costs, this image was printed with a larger number of smaller panels so they could ship the all white panels that didn't have to be run through the offset lithograph printing machines. Normally they have 12 panels at 43" wide x 59" tall. I was able to reinforce the panels with minimal clear, acid-free scrapbooking tape on the back (only).
Unfortunately, the very bottom right panel G2 is missing. It's all white with the exception of about an inch of the last "s" in "cents" which I Photoshopped in to this collage.
This is truly ONE-OF-A-KIND. I know of no other copies in any size at this time.
The illustrator was featured on pages #21 & 22 with his "Hang Un" image and this "Shine Un" was included on the black & white back inside cover pages #23 & 24 in a small American Contemporary Graphics booklet from about 1971-72:

This image was NOT featured (but "Hang Un" was) in issue #47 of the "Dimensions" quarterly booklet published in the Fall of 1973 by the Simpson Lee Paper Company - this time focused entirely on 7Up billboards:

Bottom line: I've never seen this image offered to the general public in my probably incomplete collection of billboard & poster offers.
