The artwork is just exquisite

Squires typical comedy often makes you forget just how much of a gut punch he's capable of in more sombre pieces. This is one of them.

David Squires is a hell of an artist.

holy fuck mate

squires’ work has the ability to be at once brutal, acerbic and funny as fuck one moment, then stirring, humane and utterly devastating the next
