About the Artist

Art has been a part of my life from my early years.
I was part of a national advertising campaign in the U.K for Gem Ball Markers in 1963. I was one of the first to use art markers at five years old before going on to the market. Being paid in art supplies was a fantastic offer. Before that, I was in the basement of a restaurant in Canarby st (West End,london) doing art while my parents were working upstairs. The portrait street artists in Leicester sq had a profound effect on me. This is what I wanted to do, this is what I wanted to be -a portrait artist!. The little boy's dream came true and it is still alive today.

Lots of time and detail in this one, it's good for practice, discipline and enjoyment but knowing when to stop is the real judgement of talent.Link http://fav.me/d28gcqf

This was a must do drawing in colour because of her hair and eyes, with the unfinished look just makes the colours more vibrant.

Sincerely Yours Michael Jackson

mid 80's

It had taken me approximately 1 month to paint. This is part of the Michael Jackson art collection. I am in the photo to show the scale of the painting. It was given to him in the Vancouver Canada concert in the mid 80's,shortly after winning many Grammy awards. What the painting is not showing is all the gold-paint and silver-glitter in it.

From the movie "Head in the clouds" If you know or remember this movie, she is just sitting down to dinner with a German officer he doesn't know that she is a spy.He tells her that she should not take abuse from people because of being with him.She repplies it's O.K So this is the look on her face after that. mmm
