there are two memes I've made that I'm exceptionally proud of that have really resonate with people – the other is the dominos meme – and I want to honor the artist who made the original painting: Roger Payne. Apparently it costs £310. I think I'll buy it https://t.co/cLpQFclk3N

According to bookpalace, Roger Payne was born in 1934 and is based in the UK... and he is well known for... homoerotic work? he seems to generally have a thing for myths and legends, here's the Trojan Horse https://t.co/PaBZlT2AEy

@visakanv some of these seem anatomically disproportionate

@visakanv also something fun about the fact that Roger is somewhat old fashioned slang for 'to have sex with'

I can't find much else about Roger, and I'm not sure if I got the details right either. I think it's clear that all of the *art* is by the same guy, and the Look and Learn magazine stuff was in the 60s thru 80s https://t.co/wVGzTXBA3Y
