Yes I think it is John Major because if you look the artist is wearing a Tony Blair mask, which then leaves me wondering who the other guy in the hole is meant to be.

The artists are very talented. I have seen some locally years ago but I don't think they were up to this standard. Last time we saw some in York they were done on Canvas not on the actual ground. Maybe there was some rule or regulation there that no chalk had to actually touch the pavement.

Although these are done in chalk it would be fun to have similar trompe l'oeil painted (with paint) on the ground on Broadway although it would have to be very hard wearing.
