I made this stencil during the 2010 election, and painted it for the first time a few days after Ford won. I didn't want to make fun of his weight or call him stupid, but I did want to tweak him and provoke angst in the general public.
Disclaimer: I did not do any of the writing in these photos.
This was the very first graffiti portrait of Rob Ford anywhere, at Queen and Dovercourt:
