I'm far from an expert with graphics packages, so open to correction, but isn't this form of 'art' as simple as; scanning/adding a pre-existing photograph to a paint package, doing a gaussian blur, tracing in some thicker outlines, then doing a bit of colouring in?

 

i.e. a bit like a digital paint by numbers picture? Or, in other words - shite, and certainly not worth £45.

I dont rate them, as Youri :Edit pointed out, i doubt that they have been drawn free hand. It looks to me like the original images have been scanned and then had a pack of Crayola put on them.

 

I am out.

Easily done, very boring and cheap looking imo.

 

I was going to say, I bet Diddles could do something considerably better and for the cost of a Snickers Bar and a Jubbly

I've just done my own version of The Reebok, a bold experiment in liberation with color (sic)...It's free, as usual, buy me a pint when I'm feted in Paris, New York, Farnworth and Madrid.

shouldn't all your pictures have your trade marked "top hat" somewhere in them in order to show they're authentic?

 Good thinking, a trope I believe it's called.

 

Youri - I think you have something there - could you have a bash at CWP's avatar please? Thanks in advance. SW

 

I might, it'd have to be a freehand work tho'.

He sketches them and paints them by hand.

Artist and time-traveller - good for him.

 

A bit like that bloke who's been flogging his paintings on here then. Unless he got them to pose for him from beyond the grave.

Was I being fatuous? Look, if somebody wants one of his prints to remind themselves of the many walks up the idyllic country lane that winds to the current home of Botlon Wanderers - The Reebok, or want an aide-memoire of their past strolls along the rubbish tip to Burnden, then knock yourselves out...

 

Make sure you click the right drop down link though, or you might get Cardiff or Fleetwood or a vista of Accra, Ghana.

My hand crafted model of the Reebok is a snip at £500 -though lower offers will be considered

Zico's eldest brother (not Dirty Sanchez) did a really good one like this for him that's up in his flat
