The rare and elusive Double Ply

With the hysteria surrounding the Corona Virus and the subsequent run on toilet paper (and too much time on my hands to be honest) I envisioned this photograph as a subtle way to poke fun at the way we humans react in time of panic. Honestly, in my lifetime, I’ve never seen our country react to a virus in this manner. Some people are super scared, some don’t care at all and some are taking a cautious view.

The fact that toilet paper has become the face of the virus in some respects is why I created this photo. That toilet paper has become rare, of all things people could be purchasing, is beyond me. But different people have different ways to help them cope. This post is meant to be fun and should be viewed that way.

The official “Press Release”

The Rare and Elusive "Double-Ply"
I have had the rare and exciting opportunity to photograph the Double Ply in a studio setting. After much hunting I was able to bag a roll after fighting off hoards of other hunters.
I have gone to great pains to immortalize this roll for future generations, rather than have it wiped from existence.

Because of the sudden rareness of the species, "Bottumus Wipus" and the incredible fondness apparently felt for said species, I am offering these photos at great cost (95% of profits to charity) starting at $10,000 for a 24”x36”. A small price to pay for something that has become so dear to so many and can no longer be found in it's natural habitat.

For those who love and esteem the Double Ply, who are willing to fight for it, now is your chance to own, forever, your own roll that will never run out. This framed art will fit perfectly right over your toilet.

You will never have to hunt and fight for one again. This is the perfect homage to the simple and humble roll of toilet paper.
