A Corgi Classic
Presenting my newly finished painted tribute to a Corgi James Bond Classic! Find out the story behind it and watch a timelapse of how this painting took shape.
Courtesy of Peter Klobikowski, I was introduced to a beautiful 1960s Corgi James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (model no.261), box and all!
This is my now finished painted tribute it, bringing to life all its special elements, the ejected baddie, being my favourite!
DID YOU KNOW?
Corgi based this model on the film Goldfinger and going 'gold' was apparently a marketing decision - it's actually a silver Aston Martin that features in the film!
Having painted many a Dinky toy car, this is my very first Corgi!
It is also, by far, the most detailed toy car painting I have done - I feel like I know every inch of that box!
I will soon be launching the Art print of this painting on my website, so keep an eye out. DM me if you'd like to know more!
It is also currently on display at my exhibition at the RAC, Pall Mall, London - more details of which you can find HERE
Toy Box Treasures
My new exhibition ‘Toy Box Treasures’ at the Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, London is now open. Showcasing artworks celebrating the beauty and nostalgic charm of vintage toys, 8th December to 5th January.
I am pleased to announce that I’ve just installed a new exhibition at The Royal Automobile Club Picture Gallery on Pall Mall.
The show shines a spotlight on the magic, beauty and nostalgic charm of vintage toys, celebrating their weathered, playworn characters.
Growing up surrounded by my father’s dusty collection, I was fascinated by these old die-cast treasures from an early age, and have frequented many toy fairs on the hunt for something special. These toys, with their unique array of flecks and patina have a sculptural, dynamic quality that invites connection. They are miniature but mighty in how they capture the spirit of an age and engage our imaginations.
The exhibition features both oil on canvas artworks, a range of limited edition reproductions of original oils, along with a new collection of digitally paintings, created freehand using a wacom tablet and stylus and printed on high quality art paper.
