HAPPY EASTER

I’ve been meaning to repaint this idea I sketched out years ago for a long time and I finally got round to it! I’m printing it as an Easter card or an A3 poster, which you can order here. (Shipping in approx 5 days time) See the original sketch below.

AMERICA FIRST?

I’m fascinated by the idea of how the US/Israel relationship will be talked about historically in another 100 years or so (if we make it that far). You have what is for all intents and purposes, a US imperial colony in the Middle East. It serves US geopolitical and military interests in the region. They are the closest of allies. But Israel also has more spies in the US government and military than any other nation, it spends millions on interfering in US elections to push pro-Israel politicians who will back Israel no matter what the cost to their country or their party, Israel has even militarily attacked US forces in the region (USS Liberty) and murdered US citizens in Palestine without consequence.

OVERTAKEN BY REALITY: SATIRE INSIDE A DYSTOPIA

Between the Pope auctioning off his autographed Lamborghini for charity, Lockheed Martin bidding to run NHS GP surgeries, and the FBI’s social media tributes to Martin Luther King Jr, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that satire is dead. And maybe it is. As an artist who uses satire in my work I’ve been overtaken by reality more than once, and sometimes wondered if maybe I’m not making jokes, but accidentally producing comically malevolent ideas that could actually be used by the bastards who run the place.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS A LIE

The English national anthem is a lie.⠀God never saved any of them.⠀⠀It’s also an objectively terrible and obsequious national jingle, and if we’re going to have any pretence whatsoever that England doesn’t just consider the rest of the UK its mini-empire then the UK should have a different national song to England. The fact Northern Ireland has this as its anthem is just plain tragic.⠀⠀ Fun fact: the British armed forces swear allegiance to protect the Queen, not the country, not the people, not even the government.⠀⠀ King Charles will be our best chance at a British republic and we can reclaim the enormous Crown Estate, land confiscated from the people since the invasion of William the Conqueror. ⠀The royals can still kick around and tourists can still come look at the palaces, they’ll just have to make their living as celebrities rather than parasites on the state.
