Whip it! Whip it Good! This iconic Devo photo is a perfect conversation piece for your home! Taken by acclaimed rock 'n roll photographer Janet Macoaska in 1978 in Akron. It's a true piece of Akron history!

The photo was selected by Janet from her personal archives and signed for this auction.

Janet Macoska grew up with a love for rock and roll and photography. As early as age 12, she combined both, photographing rock duo Sonny and Cher at Cleveland radio station WKYC. That photo became her first published photo in a 1967 issue of Teen Screen Magazine.

Since 1974, Janet Macoska has been capturing rock's greatest on film....and now in pixels (digital). Among the publications that have used her photos are Rolling Stone, People, Vogue, American Photo, Creem, 16, Teen Beat, MOJO, NY Times, and London Times. VH1, Bravo, A&E, and the BBC regularly use Macoska's vast archive in their "rockumentaries." Her work is in the permanent collection of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The Smithsonian Museum of American
