British artist Chris Barker paid his respects to the dead of 2016, and used the iconic cover art of Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. According to The Independent, he began building the image on the night of the US election. At that moment, all he had on the image was a “Make America Great Again” hat.
