Cheese and Pineapple Crudity
My friend made party cheese and pineapple on sticks. The square of pineapple at the top represents hair and the square of Red Leicester cheese- which has an angry expression carved into it - represents the face of the good friend of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump. Trump’s small dick energy is represented by a cocktail stick with a little US flag at one end and at the other a tiny prick #Trump #Epstein #Maxwell

Text reads "After Pentagon estimates $175 million cost to mobilize troops & hold birthday parade, there's no money left for binoculars." Main photo of Trump mimes using binoculars, surrounded by vignettes of other Dictators using binoculars to look important, including Putin, Hitler, Mussolini, Kim Jong Un, Marcos, Ceausescu, Pinochet, Dark Helmet and Putin.

Here’s one of the original Pablo Fanque posters from the same week in Rochdale. Being for the benefit of Mr Stonette and Mr Clarke. Imagine the alt lyrics- Mr Stonette running 100 times round his own head or Man Monkey Mackintosh. Mr Kite also makes an appearance as the Warrior of the West!

I visited Pablo Fanque’s grave several years ago for research. Fyi Fanque rhymed with Thank. He was actually born in 1810, and was only 61 when he died.
Grave stone for William Darby aka Pablo Fanque who died May 4th 1871. It says he was 75, but he was actually born in 1810.

‘Plastic World’
Acrylic on canvas (2014)
#acrylic #painting #art #artist
Acrylic painting of people inside a fast food burger restaurant at night. It is dark outside but the lights are on inside the restaurant. A woman sits by a window seat looking out. A man looks at the different pictures of burgers and fast food on the menu above the counter. The staff wear hats and serve their customers. A father is having a meal at a table with his young daughter.

I used to love Alas Smith & Jones
Trump and Zelenskyy meet face to face resembling the face to face chats between Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones. #Trump is saying “I have an unsightly lump on the end of my cock” to which #Zelenskyy replies “Well, that’s your body”
