An early 20th C painting advertising a magic show, it features a mustachioed, tuxedoed conjurer beating the Devil at poker with four aces in his hand, as a giggling demon on his shoulder whispers advice in his ear and the Devil looks chagrined. The image has been altered: the Devil now has Trump hair and orange skin. The demon perched on the magician's shoulder has the face of Adam Smith.

A 1950's pharmacy with a labcoated pharmacist behind the counter. The pharmacist's head has been replaced with the poop emoji from the cover of 'Enshittification,' its mouth covered with a black bar scrawled with grawlix. The pharmacy has been made over to look haunted, with purple mist rising from the ground and cobwebs in the top corners. A CVS Pharmacy sign hangs in the background.

A king on a sumptuous, much elaborated throne; in one hand he holds a sceptre of office, in the other, the leashes for two fierce stone dogs that guard the throne. The king's head has been replaced with a character who was used as the basis for MAD Magazine's Alfred E Neumann. The new head sports a conical dunce cap. Behind the king is a large group of 1960s business men, seated and standing, in conservative suits. The background is the view from the 80th floor of World Trade Center 3. The floor has been carpeted in sumptuous tabriz from the Ottoman court.
