The Chicken design is by Graffiti artist Emilski, referencing the iconography of Fried Chicken stores –
Off setting the imagery used on the incomparable monopoly of fried chicken stores with gang culture Emilski creates a humorous and resonant parody of London's day to day, grittier edge. Highlighting the competition and rivalry between fast food businesses displays the beating heart of London's broadways in a fresh and innovative way. hookedblog.co.uk
'TopSafe artists are unique in the contemporary art market, united but not defined by their graffiti backgrounds, they create artworks that are distinctly different from the 'Street Art' that is largely associated with graffiti, while retaining the energy and freethinking that is the hallmark of their outlaw practice. These artists have mastered their talent while risking their liberty and their lives to push boundaries and pursue their passion' – hookedblog.co.uk
