● Taxation is theft  .  .  .   I do not hate the "royals" but I do begrudge them every penny stolen from me to help fund their affluent  lifestyles. - graphicrebel

● This unusual and rebellious work of art unapologetically challenges our traditional perceptions of political authority through its bold use of anarchic imagery and provocative text.

● A crowned king and queen on stylised  postage stamps have had their faces obliterated by violent black scribbles.

● The text "Kings & Queens DO NOT EXIST" unmasks the illusion of monarchy, whilst the additional "BUT IN THE MINDS OF THE HAPPILY SERVILE" is a deliberate insult aimed at those benighted fools whose blind allegiance and abject subservience allows political authorities everywhere to undermine the individual liberties of the citizenry.

●   This accomplished work of art reflects contemporary debate on public authority versus personal freedom. The contrast between the artfully designed royal iconography and the defiant urban typography suggests the firm rejection of an unquestioning reverence for authority whilst the use of mixed typefaces and subversive doodles is indicative of a growing mistrust of the traditional hierarchies.

● A work of art should be a declaration of independence. An unequivocal affirmation of the artist's solidarity with self and a defiant repudiation of the morality and mediocrity of the state-fed herd. - graphicrebel ~ “Libertarianism with a generous helping of cynicism and a side order of anarchy”
