“This pencil image of Rossi on the Gaulois Yamaha was launched at the NEC bike show in 2004.  When I started it, I wanted to draw a long narrow image that would scan and print up with great detail.  So I decided to draw it quite big, and like a fool decided to ‘join’ 2 drawing boards together!

I still have the original with a join, two thirds along its length!  A talking point for anyone who wants to buy it though. “

The print was limited to only 95 copies and sold out pretty quick.  This was when printing on canvas was pretty new, however we did sell about 10 in that format.  Due to its rarity this fabulous piece of art is worth far more than you paid for it
