You’re scrolling on Instagram, when a reel of an artist pops up on your screen. The video showcases a bright acrylic and aerosol painting on a large canvas with a monkey wearing the ceremonial uniform for the Irish Guards (Prince William of the English Royal Family tends to wear this uniform). The uniform is red and decorated with gold shoulder pads with frills and a blue sash covered in medals. There’s a small crown floating off-center above his head and he’s wearing white gloves. The painting is called “Sir F**k You” and is one of the first pieces created by St. Louis Pop Artist, Corry Rogers.
