We’ve all felt it: the slow squeeze of a world where everything costs more and gives less. Groceries, rent, energy — each year demanding more from people with very little left to wring out.
Drawn after a moment of sheer disbelief at a simple tube of toothpaste priced like a luxury item, Squeezin’ Us Dry captures the absurdity and exhaustion of the cost-of-living crisis. An everyday object turned into a symbol of how relentlessly we’re pressed, pinched, and drained — expected to keep going, keep paying, keep squeezing, even when the tube is long empty.
A print that stands as a bold little F-you to the state of things. A small act of solidarity in a world that keeps asking for more.
Hand-drawn in Dublin, 2022. Fine art giclée print of the original ink drawing.

PERFECT! So clever.
This is what art is supposed to do! Make a point, start a conversation. I'm so sick of all this mass produced vanilla shite online and in the shops. I love this print - it's fun but makes a point. PLEASE more of this. Can't stand anymore live laugh love nonsense.
The more I look at it the more I love it. It's so detailed but the message is so simple and powerful.
So good Laura! Arrived in perfect condition and looks great on the wall. Thank you.
