CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS

We thought Star Wars was all over with Episode 6, but life in the galaxy (a very very long time ago) went on... bills had to be paid, and if you trained as a Storm Trooper, well...

NOTICES THAT GET NOTICED

Art simply MUST be brought into the workplace and it should reflect the ethos of the company.

Perhaps not a good example!

Poster of Reservoir Dogs
Poster of Reservoir Dogs"Reservoir Dwarfs"

Art that supports a mission statement or major plan of action can be painted and then reproduced in internal literature. Sorry Sophie, but original art that is thought provoking and witty is far more powerful than the best poster you can conjure on PowerPoint.

Goodfellas Poster

"The Customer is always right" - comes to mind... Yer, right!

Supplier of Health & Safety posters - NOT
Not your average Health & Safety Sign
"Warning signs"


Cartoon style painting

ABOUT THE ARTIST

I could have done that.
"I could have"
The artist principally paints portraits of famous people and the sample paintings on this page are the work of his altered ego. They combine his skill at portraiture with a wicked eye for the absurd. Popping pretensions and inverting the image of public figures that advertisers like to exploit, to memorable effect.


Subject matter is drawn from the films and music that the artist is a fan of.

Each image is a painting in high quality acrylic paint on canvas. This witty art is intended for hanging in public places to amuse and provoke thought. These funny images are also ideal for advertising, where the original painting can be displayed by the company - far better than bland prints of advertising copy which is the best most advertising agencies can come up with for the board room.
