Cold War Steve

Cold War Steve is the pen name of Christopher Spencer (born 1975), a British collage artist and satirist. He is the creator of the Twitter feed @coldwarsteve. His work typically depicts a grim, dystopian location in England populated by British media figures, celebrities, and politicians, usually with EastEnders actor Steve McFadden (in character as Phil Mitchell) looking on in disgust. His work has been described as having "captured the mood of Brexit Britain" and has been likened to that of earlier British political satirists Hogarth and Gillray. One critic has described Spencer as 'Shit Britain's Photoshop Hogarth'. As of September 2021, his Twitter account has over 345,000 followers.
