(via the Stuckist Website)

Michael Dickinson is the founder of the Istanbul Collage Stuckists. His scathing, inventive and exquisitely-wrought political collages appeared regularly on his Carnival of Chaos web site, until he put up 'Tyrant's Pants' and Tripod (part of the Lycos group) deleted his whole site without warning or appeal.
