In the 70s or 80s, Memorex...at least i think it was memorex, released an advertisement. Most of you have probably seen it, it's black and white. A man is sitting in a chair and facing a speaker. The noise from the speaker is so powerful that his tie is flying backwards like the wind pushing it. Could anyone please tell me either the artist or the name of the image. I really want a poster of it and i have no clue what its called. Thanks!

I remember the pic...my husband and I had the image hanging on a wall of our very tiny apartment back in the 80's.... Sorry I don't remember who the artist was, and the pictures has long since been removed from the walls.

I am, therefore I create.......

If anyone was wondering, i found out that it is called "Blown Away" by Steigman. Also, it was not a Memorex ad, but a Maxell one. Thanks to those of you who pondered along with me.
