The viral Instagram artist first shot to fame in 2015 for his rococo interpretations of UK grime artists as landed gentry. You’ve probably seen them: D Double E as a military officer, Skepta straddling a horse with a British flag in hand, and (wait for it) Stormzy chilling in an ornate British manor in front of a framed portrait of Wiley and an unboxed pair of adidas trainers, naturally.

His light-hearted drawings of England’s squad during last year’s World Cup, which went viral, shone a positive light on the sport, which has widely been associated with rowdy hoards of men and hooliganism. The 30-year-old’s zany illustrations scream England: one image sees Harry Kane atop a white van, flanked by lions and national flags, while in another, he’s making it rain – not money, but Greggs sausage rolls.

As it turns out, sausage rolls are a running theme in Dangoor’s political illustrations too. A digital reinterpretation of Piers Morgan’s Twitter spat with British institution Greggs (fittingly) swaps the ham-faced bigot in place of actual (read: maybe) meat. Another standout pic memorialises politician Diane Abbott’s iconic M&S mojito moment earlier this year, drawn in the style of Kim Kardashian’s equally internet-breaking 2016 Paper Magazine front cover.
