THAT SUN
As part of my artist residency with RRUNews in Liverpool, I’ve updated The Sun’s advertising rate card. The card sets out a new pricing system for advertisers, in which they can pay more to have their advert placed directly next to the most attention grabbing terror stories. See the full card at: thatsun.co.uk These leaflets were sent out to over 200 people working in the marketing departments of The Sun’s biggest advertisers.


BOOMTOWN
I’ll be doing a talk about my work at Boomtown this year on the Sunday at 16:00 at Speaker’s Corner, Whistlers Green.


LIVERPOOL
Started my artist residency at RRU News in Liverpool yesterday. Going to be on the top floor of St Johns Shopping Centre for two weeks getting angry about the news, one of my favourite activities. #News #Advertising

SHELL ARTICLE
I wrote an article for the New Internationalist about ‘Make the Future’, Shell’s greenwashing carnival of bad ideas, that prompted an activist and artist led backlash and led to Shell’s legal retaliations against me and others. #Greenwashing #Shell

CEASE AND DESIST
I’ve received a cease-and-desist letter from Shell demanding I remove these apocalypse-related products from my website within 7 days. This seems like pretty clear retaliation for the recent Shell greenwashing subvertising campaign my work was in, organised by Brandalism. I’m lucky enough to have free legal support from The Satanic Temple, London & UK so I’m going to see if I can fight it but I’m not optimistic. So I reckon you have a week to buy these up before they disappear from my website forever💀👍. All funds raised will go towards utterly pissing off Shell forever.

#MAKETHEFUTURE #UNINHABITABLE
I designed some posters for this anti-fossil fuel greenwashing campaign in collaboration with Brandalism targeting Shell’s bullshit PR festival #makethefuture. Posters gone up in bus stops in London, Leeds, Bristol and Oxford. Images taken from my #burnthefuture installation at Shangri-La/Glastonbury last year. The other artists posters for this are brilliant too. 🛢🔥💀

DISCARD AFTER SINGLE-USE
Here’s a surfboard I painted for Project 0‘s art auction to raise money for mangrove restoration in the Caribbean. You can bid here. Unfortunately I had to pull out of the launch exhibition for the auction as I only found out last minute the show was sponsored by Sky TV. I’m against all attempts at corporate greenwashing because it promotes the idea that consuming one brand over another can save the planet and that corporations care about these issues when they don’t. But its the involvement of Sky in particular which is really galling as the company is part-owned (and soon to be fully-owned) by Rupert Murdoch, who uses his TV channels and newspapers to push climate-change denial and anti-renewable energy propaganda worldwide.


SUBVERTISERS FOR LONDON
This poster I designed has started appearing in tube carriages around London as part of a subvertising campaign by Special Patrol Group. The original illustration is available as a print or a postcard.

MR DEMOTIVATOR
Mr Demotivator is back as a ceramic mug or whatever. Look I don’t know. You can get one here.
