We Grow These in Texas

Is the title of an artwork by Jon Langford featuring Uncle Sam holding a clutch of skulls. It was created to promote the Pine Valley Cosmonauts' albums entitled The Executioners' Last Songs, which were an attempt to raise funds for the Illinois Death Penalty Moratorium Project.

It also features in the art exhibition “Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin,” a collection of stamp art by 47 artists from 11 different countries that opened at the Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College Chicago. The exhibition is being investigated by the Secret Service, as reported here in the Columbia Chronicle, although the agents involved did not specify the natyure of their inquiries.
