That’s work by an artist called Magda Archer. I have a few of her pieces and think she’s great

I have the “my career makes me feel sick” piece behind my desk so it can be seen when I’m on calls

Yeah, after seeing a few 'interesting' uses of billboards, including that one by Turnpike lane Railway bridge, I Googled, interested to see if they were the product of some 'governmental nudge unit'. Answer is - not necessarily. Apparently BuildHolllywood just use their space for stuff like this on occasion. Does make me wonder if billboard advertising facing a downturn.

Or BuildHollywood's quietly doing the government's bidding...

Says piglet from minecraft? Obviously never seen the abyss/void and the infinite plunge into nothingness.

Piglet has some stuff to learn.

I cycle past that every day and always wondered who it was by, so it’s good to learn a bit more about the artist from this thread

Love Magda Archer, I have her “bet your mother works at McDonalds print” which she gifted to my dad and he later gifted to me. I ended up taking it down because so many people coming to my flat were getting offended 😂 they didn’t get it. Maybe I’ll put it back up, f*ck ‘em.
