A mural of Donald Trump locked in a kiss with Boris Johnson has been painted in Bristol.
It has been painted on a derelict building in Stokes Croft, Bristol by the group We Are Europe in a bid to encourage voters to vote to stay in the European Union.
The painting of one of the most prominent Brexit-backers and the presumptive US Republican candidate, who has also backed Brexit, kissing is above a slogan encouraging people to register to vote on 23 June.
Sharing a picture of the mural, which is called "The Kiss of Death, on their Instagram page the group wrote: “Like what you see? Didn't think so [...] Register to vote and we can avoid our very own kiss of death?”
Several pieces of Trump-inspired graffiti and art have been spotted during his transformation from extravagant real estate billionaire to presumptive nominee. Just recently, street graffiti on the side of a restaurant in Lithuania went viral after depicting Mr Trump in a similar kissing pose with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Both kissing photos are reminiscent of the 1979 photo of former Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German Chancellor Erich Honecker which can be seen today in graffiti form in the Berlin Wall.
Other artwork of Mr Trump includes a depiction of him by LA artist Illma Gore who sketched the businessman with a micropenis and displayed it at the Maddox Gallery in London.
