Created by satirical collage artist and local talent Christopher Spencer, aka Cold War Steve, Benny's Babbies showcases Birmingham and it's people. Spot comedian Joe Lycett and cricketer Moeen Ali, alongside Duran Duran and activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, with members of Black Sabbath rocking out on top of the Rotunda building behind, where Benny from TV soap opera Crossroads (filmed in Birmingham) peers out over the crowd full with many more famous and recognisable Brummie faces.

The background of Benny's Babbies is the View of St Martin's Church Birmingham from the Bullring, 1815-1835, by Thomas Hollins, which features on a japanned tray on display in our collection at Birmingham Museums. The backdrop has been updated with familiar city scenes, including the Birmingham Pride Festival, the brutalist architecture of the now demolished Central Library, Birmingham's beloved Mr. Egg takeaway, and the Central Birmingham Mosque.

Why not choose an unofficial Commonwealth Games souvenir version of Cold War Steve's classic love letter to Birmingham - King King Vs Mechanical Bull Edition. We even have some signed prints.
