We all know what a dumpster fire 2020 has been. But a British artist named Chris Barker was able to sum it up in a single picture.
Every year, Chris produces a mock-up of the Beatles’ “Sgt Pepper” album cover, but with public figures who’ve died over the past 12 months. And the 2020 version contains 108 of them, including a lot of heavy hitters.
Like Kobe Bryant, Eddie Van Halen, Little Richard, Neil Peart from Rush, Sean Connery, David “Darth Vader” Prowse, Kirk Douglas, Max Von Sydow, Ian Holm, Alex Trebek, and Chadwick Boseman, to name a few.
Oh, and everyone is wearing masks.
Also, the bass drum in the foreground of the picture has the phrase, “I can’t breathe” scrawled across it, with a portrait of George Floyd sitting next to it. On the other side of the drum is a stockpile of toilet paper.
On the ground in front of it, there are markings to denote all the people who’ve died of COVID-19.
And everyone is standing in front of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping garage door where Rudy Giuliani held his crazy election fraud press conference.
Chris says he originally wanted to work social distancing into the photo, but that wasn’t really practical.
