This print shows the artist in character at work in the street using a roller. The long-handled roller features in his work in various ways: not only as a tool to paste up prints, but also as a paintbrush and even as a weapon. Sweet Toof’s signature motif is a grinning set of false teeth which reference the image of a skull, but also serve as a metaphor for the idea of the ‘biting’ satire which is a feature of much street art.
