It's called 'My florist is a dick' and is available at 10am PDT and 5pm GMT.
Looks ok to me - what are your thoughts?

To me is sounds sort of childish and inappropriate for a serious theme

I believe he made this work on a Berlin wall as well, this week.

I guess it's a 'playful' way of expressing current opinion towards police in the U.S. Especially after all the recent media reports covering violent acts towards civilians.
His blurb on the piece below:
MY FLORIST IS A DICK
I’m over in Berlin, and I was asked if my Sadistic Florist image is an SS soldier. No, it is NOT an SS uniform. It is a Washington DC riot police uniform. I guess the power of suggestion has shown itself here in Berlin. Unfortunately, there have been many deaths at the hands of the police historically and in recent months in the US. The police are frequently portrayed as “peace keepers” which is why I have the humorous flowers in the image. Over 5,000 civilians have died at the hands of the police in the us since 9/11. That is far more than have been killed by terrorists… including 9/11. Check out this article by Katie Rucke. We need police to wear body-cameras, not more electronic data collection from ordinary citizens.

I just checked myself and it is a 'Private Detective'.
There was me thinking I knew of a lot of dicks!

Well, Private Detective was my other thought too... but it makes even less sense!

I suppose it also has the same meaning as we know it, but he has probably used it to express both meanings of the word.

Shep needs some copywriting advice!
