What Stella drinkers are Really like...

Saw the new Stella Artois advertising campaign and thought - as suave and beautiful as they are -
Stella drinkers don't look like that!! And they certainly don't end up smarter, better looking and getting the girl After drinking...
Anyway, here is MY idea of 'The Stella Progression'.....

MY FINISHED VERSION

The Art of Winning Poster Competition

This was my poster design for The Art of Winning competition put together by Let's Be Brief, Twenty%extra, and the very trendy BoxPark Gallery, just next to Shoreditch Overground station. I was one of the lucky winners and my poster is on display there throughout July so go and take a peek if you like, they've got some very cool shops/bars/restaurants up there as well so if the sun's out you can make a right day of it!

Adam and Joe - two of the loveliest men around.

If getting a photo of Adam Buxton with my work wasn't enough, I've now been sent this wonderful picture of Adam and Joe together with my painting! What lovely lovely men to take the time to do this, if you haven't already heard their podcasts from their days at BBC6 Music, then get yourselves on iTunes and download some, they are hilarious.
If you're more of a film/TV fan than radio - Joe was the director of the fantastic film Attack the Block and the new Tintin film, and Adam has acted in Hot Fuzz, The IT Crowd and Stardust to name but a few.

Adam Buxton!!

Here's the wonderful Dr Buckles with my painting, received a very sweet email from him thanking me for it along with this photo. Lovely man!

The legend himself - Karl Pilkington

Absolutely made my day. Thanks Karl

Sorted Exhibition series 1 - BRITISH COMEDY SERIES

(All available as A4 300gsm and Giclee prints but can do other sizes/with frames etc on request.)


Matt Berry (The IT Crowd, Garth Merenghi, voice of Absolute Radio) and me at Sorted London with the painting I did of him as Dr Sanchez in the credits of Garth Marenghi.


So, I decided to do a series of 10 black and white water colour paintings (WITH backgrounds!! Shock, Horror) of my favourite actors in modern British Comedy. I scanned through all my favourite episodes and film clips so that I could pause it right at the moment which I thought totally captured that actor's/their character's personality, and paint from that.

I then wrote to all the celebrities that I had painted (Matt Berry, Bill Bailey, Richard Ayoade, Mark Heap, Ricky Gervais, Karl Pilkington, Stephen Merchant, Adam Buxton, Joe Cornish, Noel Fielding, Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) and invited them to come and see the painting of themselves at the private view.
And then the legend himself - Matt Berry - wandered in around 7.30, oozing of cool and complimenting everyone's work. My smile nearly broke my face.
