It’s been a shitty year. And there are those who, among the chaos, have found ways to make 2020 even shittier. They’ve been selfish, reckless, and even destructive. In short . . . they’ve been naughty. Thankfully, there’s someone who’s been keeping track of naughtiness and niceness. Regular coal wasn’t going to cut it this year. So his most artistic elves rolled up their ever-so-short sleeves and got to work making these naughty people the gifts they truly deserve…out of coal.
J.K. Rowling, for sending transphobic tweets - a coal rejection letter from Hogwarts. Carole Baskin, for feeding her husband to a tiger - a coal litter scoop. An anonymous California couple, for hosting a gender reveal party that burned down nearly 9,000 acres of land - a coal toy fire truck. Tory Lanez, for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot - a coal horseshoe. Gal Gadot, for serenading us from lockdown in her mansion - an empty coal toilet paper roll. The Chainsmokers, for ignoring public safety to host a concert at the height of the pandemic - a coal bottle of hand sanitiser. Mike Pence, for repeatedly lying and misinforming the American public - a coal fly swatter.
Santa’s Shit List was launched as a non-agency related effort by a team of creatives as a fitting way to celebrate the holidays in what can only be described as a shitty year. The gifts were created using found objects, spray adhesive, and several layers of coal dust and charcoal powder.
