"I've always loved the work of Roy Lichtenstein who was famous for his ‘pop art’ style in the 60's, based on American Comic strips. So I set about trying to create that style on Valentino....well who else could you choose?

Quite easy to do this I thought....
     ......how wrong could I be!

 This picture took weeks and weeks to get the right pose, the right vibrant colour and to stop myself adding detail (which I always want to do).   The end result is extremely striking.  Not to everyone's taste I know, but a picture - once you've seen it in the flesh - you will never forget.

When it was first shown at the Donington Moto GP in 2007, I remember a lady saying to me,‘when I first saw that picture on Friday, I wasn't very keen on it. But every time I walk past your stand, I have to come and have another look’. After the GP on Sunday evening, she came and bought one!”

Only 50 copies are available. The standard size of the canvas is 80 x 80 cm but a few customers have been bold and had us produce it much larger. Instant decorating for any home or office, and surely a cast iron investment.
