Happy Choppers made its debut at the Santa's Ghetto exhibition, a poignant piece crafted by the artist to shed light on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and the hardships endured in the West Bank. Before being released as a screen print, Happy Choppers first appeared in 2002 as a sprayed mural in Central London at the Whitecross Street Market.

This composition provides a juxtaposition of innocence and warfare that is often seen in Banksy's body of work. The focal 'chopper' boasts a striking pink bow, an emblem of innocence starkly set against the backdrop of warfare.

Happy Choppers marks one of Banksy's earliest explorations of the helicopter motif, a theme he revisits frequently. This symbol of military intervention has become integral to his artistic identity, serving as a powerful vehicle for social commentary throughout his career.
