Award-winning jigsaw artist Mike Jupp cuts ties with Gibsons Games over a censorship row in the UK. Jupp, known for his humorous scenes, clashed with the 100-year-old company over changes to his "I Love Spring" puzzle.
The firm requested Jupp to remove elements like St George's flag and a humorous bull scene, citing a "diversity and inclusion drive." Jupp criticized this as disrespectful to his artistic vision and a move that alienates loyal customers. Despite the commercial success, Jupp saw no rationale and opted out, standing firm on his creative pride.
