We have just rediscovered a short film made by Jody Barton that offers a rare and personal glimpse into the delinquent mind of this maverick graphic powerhouse. Watch and learn – but don’t necessarily try this at home…

‘Fuckin’ Hell It’s Fuckin’ Fucked is a limited edition A5 zine written and illustrated by Big Active artist Jody Barton. He says: “…it’s a simultaneous cry for help and call to arms, a despairing look at the language of the climate change debate…”. It’s got 32 pages of illustrations and pithy one-liners that try to undermine, incense and annoy – all the while secretly being slightly informative. And it’s got a lovely silver cover. Not available for sale in any shop at present.
