  Seagulls are like smart suited mobstersSince moving here I've observed the Seagulls are like smart suited mobsters hanging around the streets looking for trouble and food. They have spies everywhere and they'll take your food if you give them a chance. . #ArtyMikey #Illustration #BrightonArtist #Cartoons #BrightonSeagulls
