I was all primed and ready to hate on this, but it's actually pretty neat.

Wonderful. I might order a few prints from the artist, if I could figure out how to send him a request...

Given that the second one is definitely representing a john picking up a streetwalker, and the third is a pole dancer - I'd guess sex isn't an subject he steers clear of...
