I made a zine for a friend’s birthday: songs by The Cure if the lead singer was Rabbit Smith. Here is the Bucks Don’t Cry and Fire in Burro(w) spread. #thecure #rabbitsmith #zine
A photo of a zine, open to a spread of two posters: on the left the poster in the style of The Cure’s ‘Boys Don’t Cry’ poster but where the person is a big rabbit, and the title changed to ‘Bucks Don’t Cry’; and on the right a poster based on Fire in Cairo but as ‘Fire in Burro(w)’ with a scene of Cairo under a sunset as the moon rises, with a rabbit on the street under the palm trees.

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

“Let us undo this man-made #famine in Gaza by:
- opening the gates without restrictions
- protecting journalists, humanitarian and health workers,” says UNRWA Commissioner-General

UNRWA alone has enough supplies in Jordan and Egypt to bring 6,000 trucks of aid into #Gaza.

Let us do our job.
