More from Stoke City F.C.


I've not posted anything for a while, this is another Stoke City related picture a 'quickie' John Rudge Stoke City's Director of Football and.....




.....Stoke City F.C. player - new signing Dave Kitson.
The Stoke City work may be leading to something very exciting and some of them are actually being shown in a local art gallery to advertise and celebrate Stoke City F.C. along with work from other artists and potential backing from the club itself.
It's early days and meetings are going on between the gallery and the football club at the moment so it's a fingers crossed situation but I'll keep you posted.

Stoke City Football Clubs Premier League Promotion

There is a very positive atmosphere in the air in Stoke on Trent nowadays. The home football team, Stoke City, have just been promoted to the Premier league. Now admittedly I am not a football fan but it has been nigh on impossible not to get caught up in the euphoria that this has created and it is a much needed moral boost for the city.

With this in mind I am creating caricature portraits of the team to celebrate this momentous occasion starting with - Stoke City Manager Tony Pullis.

Gordon Brown


Not posted anything for a while seem to be so busy. My website is very nearly ready and should launch next week but to get into the mood for tomorrows local election I've gone all political and painted a caricature of the current PM - Gordon Brown.
May I just add what a great job he's doing (add sarcastic tone when you read that bit.)

Philip Glenister




A while back I did this caricature of Philip Glenister the star of 'Life on Mars' and 'Ashes to ashes' shown on the BBC here in the UK.His character in these shows - DCI Gene Hunt - is fantastic.Anyway,in a bid to get my work out and about I e-mailed his official website with a request to post my caricature (and maybe a link to my blog) on the website.

I got a reply on Sunday from Gareth the website editor who wrote "I have to say that your caricatures have gone down well! We at the website like them and Philip - approves of his ... I'll put it in the miscellaneous pics gallery with a link."


I am now proudly having the caricature displayed on Philip Glenisters official website ... fantastic.

I've put a link to Philips website - it contains various clips from the two shows I've mentioned for those of you who've never seen them.
