James McQueen, a British artist working under a pseudonym, is known for his painted reinterpretations of iconic images, often featuring the Penguin Books logo on satirical covers infused with humor and irony. His vibrant style, influenced by vintage book covers, Pop art, and graffiti, includes a recurring monkey motif reminiscent of Banksy, exploring themes of anonymity.
