QUEEN LIZ LAST HURRAH Stamps of Mass Dissent CASH-IN SPECIAL
Since the Queen died we have been reeling.
The loss we now face is incalculable.
With her death we lose the Greatest Iconoclastic Icon of the 20th and 21st Centuries.
From the time Jamie Reid tore out her eyes and put a safety pin through her lips in 1977 her image has served not only as the unifying Monarch of the Nation, but as the black mirror and life-buoy to which all rebellious individuals and anti-authoritarian free-thinking creatives have collectively clung to.
As long as she represented The Nation and The State, she also epitomised all the ills of The Nation and The State to which criticism could be aimed at, and for this we mourn her loss.
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY
since L-13 first started making and publishing prints in 2004, the image of The Queen in various guises has been a
CONSTANT AND SECURE SOURCE OF INCOME.
She funded everything!
Never mind the cost of the monarchy to the nation... think of the lost revenue to radical artists!!
Our first ever print editions were Jamie Reid’sGod Save the Queen (Swastika Eyes) and Jimmy Cauty’sStamps of Mass Destruction (4th, 5th and 6th Class).
Can you imagine a 3p Charlie working in the same way? No!!
So with great disrespect and sorrow, whether you laud or loathe her, believe the Queen to be ordained by God or a blood-thirsty lizard, a sweet old lady or a parasitic leach, raise a flag, dab your hankies, and please join us in our mourning to say for one last time to Her Majesty the Queen:
B@ll*!cks to the M@n!£c*y
We will mourn for a suitably extended 31 days from the day she is buried.
Day of Publication = Burial Day (BD)+31 = 20th October 2022
