David Dees Dies

I'm very sorry to report that the artist David Dees has passed away. David created countless satirical tableaux about all kinds of conspiratorial subjects. His work was hard-hitting and shocking. Sometimes it was upsetting, sometimes it was funny; but ultimately it was inspiring and educating. I've collected a few of my favourites above, the best but also the most topical. RIP David.

I had not seen Dees's dystopian art before now, which is remiss because it has a deprogramming affect. Perhaps he died when life began imitating his art? RIP.

It does definitely imitate his art, Laurence. He provided a positive way to freedom through his darkly humourous Thoughtcrime. He has thousands of images which will remain now he has gone. Hope you enjoy them.

Well said Ben.
