I painted this portrait of Sparta Puss way back in lockdown, for my window art gallery. Back then, the speech bubble said “Stay Safe”. I thought I’d update it, painted out the original slogan and painted in Sparta’s support for our nurses, currently striking for fair pay. Throughout the first lockdown, we took to the streets to clap the NHS workers. And that included many politicians, including the then Prime Minister. But where are those politicians now? Clapping costs nothing of course!
