Don't Fret is an artist from Chicago who started out as a grafitti artist but went on to create paste-ups and paint characters in silly situations to have a laugh at the world as well as to make a social or political statement. The artist visited London at the end of last year, and one of the murals left behind was the wall on Bacon Street that Belgian artist Bisser had painted earlier in 2016. This new artwork is a take on the artist's home town of Chicago. A farmer chases pigs, and a butcher waits. The refined hog sits on top of a man's head and sips a martini. 
In addition to the mural above, I did notice some sentences sprayed around London, such as "The Distinct Sound of Laughter in the Distance". I also saw a couple of character paste-ups with political themes. I did not realise that these were also from the artist and did not photograph them.
