Old English Pricks, 2019-ongoing

Old English Pricks is a series of one-off publications by MacDonaldStrand. They represent both a reactive and considered response to the current state of political debate in the UK. The handmade publications use newsprint images cut from right-wing tabloid newspapers and overprinted in letterpress with the single word PRICK.
At its heart, Old English Pricks is angry name-calling, driven by outrage and disgust. These people are entitled, arrogant, superior pricks.
The word PRICK has multiple uses in the English language, and has been chosen to utilise these meanings to express the collective frustration and anger at the populist political players currently operating in British politics.
