No oil painting

A man called James Falvey paints excellent Pop Art-style pictures of people, mostly people in comedy and entertainment*. Having very kindly asked my permission first, he has painted one of me. He gives his paintings pun-style headlines, most of which are painful. This painting is called Fill Collins, which is why petrol is being dispensed into my head. (It might not be petrol, it could be any liquid, but it's being dispensed via a petrol pump.) Anyway, his latest exhibition is on in Luton in April and most of his pictures are of people more famous and talented than me. His website is here.

* He has already painted one of Richard Herring. Mine is better.

I genuinely was going to point out that he had already done one of you when I realised that it was of Mark Steel - my apologies.

Me too Ten! I didn't get the pun at fist as "Steel Band" and "Andrew Collins" are not exactly easy to link...

Yeah, I like that.

Although you could have been pictured eating a baguette, title? Collins sandwich.



Sorry.

I'd have done a pencil sketch and called it Hand drew Collins.
