It was for an Australian only distribution DVD company... don't think you can get it elsewhere... or at least not with the cover art by me.

Even though we had a smaller population in the old days the big tv and radio shows have higher viewing figures that the top rated drek of today gets, 5 million and they are chearing? anywhere between 15 and 25 million viewers and listeners for the old stuff.

Have you done a matching caricature of Mr. Corbett?

It was for a DVD cover for a documentary on Mr Barker.... never got to do Mr Corbett. Seems kinda wrong to do one without the other though, doesn't it!

You just have got to do messers Barker and Corbett together.
Morecambe and Wise with a special guest appearance by Des O'Connor?
Les Dawson at his gurning best
And Kenny Everett(with a very over inflated Cleo Rocos) is just crying out for the Loopydave touch
Last but not least the late and very great Dave Allen.

Excellent image of Ronnie!
You've really captured his essence and the humour he was responsible for in The Two Ronnies. (A show I
absolutely loved watching when I was growing up... all hail the genius of dvds!)

Thanks - it certainly was a fun job this one and its always great getting asked to paint someone you thought was really talented!

You're very welcome!
And such a fun personality, would just increase the joy of painting.

No probs...The weirdest thing is, when I was a super broke student, I went to the Salvos for food, and they gave me a bunch of food, and, quite unbelievably...a Ronnie Barker DVD...It was bizarre. Brilliant stuff!

What a lovely rendering of one of my favourite performing artists. He was a genius, pure and not-so-simple, and a gent to boot.

Never saw enough of him as I should, but he was a very clever man.. and lots of fun to paint too!
Cheers!

You do a such a wonderful job with these "pencil Sketches" I have to ask do you think could do one with Ronnie corbett or better still with Barker and Corbett and the news-desk? It would be fantastic if you could that.
Awesome etc...

Thanks! Really depends on what the client is after - I enjoy quick pencil characatures, but rarely paint them up unless its for an actual job.
Cheers mate!

My Gods, that is some serious skill here - realistic but still unrecognisable. Love it!

Cheers man! Saw it on a DVD cover in the store today and they did a nice job on the packaging.
