A monochrome graphic art print designed to resemble a distressed wanted poster for the characters Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues from the 1980 film The Blues Brothers. The print features two stippled portraits of the lead actors John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in their signature costumes of suits, fedoras, and sunglasses. The typography includes a large header reading WANTED and biographical details including their vehicle description, a 1974 Dodge X-police cruiser, license plate BDR-529, and a 5000 dollar reward. The contact information references the character Sgt. Burton Mercer of the Illinois Highway State Patrol. A vertical line of fine print is present along the right-hand inner border of the Elwood panel; however, the text is not legible and cannot be used for attribution. The graphic includes simulated ageing effects such as faux stains and creases as part of the intentional design.
