Framed within a whimsical, colorful, and often sinister illustration style, The Secret Satellite Mail Order Flyer is a fictitious marketing campaign directed at the consumer lusts of the ruling elite, highlighting topics of social confusion, control, and economics. The series asks relevant questions of contemporary culture and its impact on our lives and beliefs, all behind the guise of a highly branded, mail-order company and its continuous direct mail campaign (the flyer itself). The Secret Satellite is “a mail order company dedicated to the successful lifestyles of tyrants, presidents, despots, billionaire CEOs, prime ministers, media moguls, first, second, and third rate dictators, potentates, overlords, and other members of the ruling class.”
