APARTHEID OFF PODCAST
I was recently interviewed for the Apartheid Off Campus podcast. You can listen on any of the usual podcast repositories, search for Apartheid Off Podcast or listen here.
JIGSAW JIGSAW
If you’d like to populate your nightmares, or the nightmares of your loved ones, with the endless frustration of a recursive jigsaw jigsaw, I’ve started a Kickstarter to get these made up: www.kickstarter.com/projects/darrencullen/jigsaw-jigsaw EDIT: Below is the original mockup
HONEST FIREWORKS
Surprisingly honest fireworks display I went to the other night.
YOUR AD HERE
Corporations and woke ad campaigns will not save us. A corporation legally cannot take a stand for anything except shareholder value. Their campaigns are simply attempts at commodifying and neutering political movements. We can’t buy our way to a better world. More subvertising.
SHELL X PRIDE
Great to seen Shell showing support for #Pride this year by committing substantial resources towards changing the world. More from this project here.
AD SPACE HACK PACK ORDERS
If you’re still waiting on an Ad Space Hack Pack order please bear with me, it had 400+ orders, far more than I was prepared for, so been working through the backlog. Two post bags gone out this week, waiting on key restock then will post the last 100 envelopes out next week latest. I’ve taken the listing off my shop because I reached quite a bit past the limit of what I can afford to refund. I may add them again once I clear the backlog. I’ll be posting photos as they come in here.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
The keys to open bus stops are now available from my website shop, if you use them to put up a black lives matter poster I’ll refund the cost of the pack – just email me a photo. You can paint or draw on the back of the original posters you find in the bus stops. Every poster you put up gives you another poster to adjust. Let’s cover the streets.If you can afford to please donate to US protester bail funds and write to your MP! Let’s not pretend that racist police violence is just an American problem.

SUNDAY TIMES EAT THE RICH LIST
There’s something weird about this year’s Sunday Times Rich List
DOMINIC CUMMINGS
Not sure why Dominic Cummings tested his eyesight by driving 30 miles to Barnard Castle when he could have taken this simple eyesight test.
SUVs
An anti-SUV poster I drew before the lockdown. It seems a lot of people buy SUV’s under the impression these giant city-tractors will protect their children on the school-run, but that comes at the cost of pedestrian safety. You’re twice as likely to die being hit by an SUV than you are by any other car. Their height also creates a blind spot around the car which has caused countless horrific accidents involving small children. The safety for the occupants of SUVs is also an illusion. They’re twice as likely to roll in crashes and you’re 11% more likely to die in a crash in a SUV than a normal car. In Europe, sales of SUVs continue to increase; from 7% of the market in 2009 to 36% in 2019. They are forecast to reach nearly 40% by 2021.
UK GOVERNMENT PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT
New government guidelines. Stay safe out there.
THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
Just finished this companion piece to my ‘The Early Bird Murders the Worm‘ drawing. It’s a public information poster about the virtues of laziness during a pandemic, (among other occasions.)
NEW POSTCARDS
Got a new set of postcards printed. You can pick them up in my shop. Please note 2nd class delivery is taking up to two weeks now due to the post office’s reduced capacity during the pandemic.
PPE NOW
This NHS PPE poster I designed has gone up in London bus stops thanks to Special Patrol Group.
BUSINESS HELL
Finally got round to taking a photo of my Hell™ print, which you can see close up here, or order a limited edition copy of it here. Work in Progress
PPE NOW
The government is more concerned about the safety of stock market investments than it is about the safety of NHS workers and the population of this country. Sources:Government would not pay for NHS pandemic stockpiling Government knew since 2016 UK was unprepared for a pandemic Government knew since January a pandemic was coming
AD BRAKE
Last week a fake car ad I designed was installed in London as part of Brandalism’s #AdBrake project. Massive thanks to Special Patrol Group for the installation and photo! More of my subvertising work here.
