Like all of you, my real goal in life was to be a spokes-model.
In late 2007 I was commissioned by Fallon, a London based advertising agency, to paint a series of portraits for an Old Speckled Hen advertising campaign portraying their targeted constituency. Up to this point I've completed four paintings, with the likelihood of more to follow.
Although I told them I was no longer interested in doing Illustration work, they persisted and convinced me that they didn't want typical illustrations done in a very limited time frame. They said they would give me the time I needed to do my best work, so I relented.
They said they chose me because they felt my portraits best exemplified the use of the time honored methods they utilize in creating their product. The portraits have appeared in both print and outdoor venues.
The client and agency were so excited by the paintings that they decided to feature me on their website as well. Very cheeky!
