Viewable in full only from the air, the piece – which will remain in place for the rest of the year – has already been nicknamed ‘The Face from Space’.

lawyers

A foul-mouthed, hand-drawn, multi award-winning satirical animation by Jeanette Bonds, who explains that it was…

The animator explains all here.
