I have not advertised as being available to sell anywhere on here and I wasn't going to, it is completely upfront Dick, its for fans to participate in the making of a celebratory piece and which people seem to enjoy giving input and watching a drawing develop, as I have said on one of your many comments on my thread but as yet have not been seen as I am waiting for my replies to be moderated. It is a fan thing for fans of the teams he paints who love these paintings, is he supposed to draw one team for all of his career? I don't know why you are so negative and what your problem is to be honest so maybe you should stop looking at the thread if its upsetting you so much. We are inevitably asked by people if work will be available to purchase, yes it is but its done privately as we are contacted and not advertised to sell. And just to let you know the original painting is always donated to a cause close to the clubs heart or donated to raise funds for the club, hope this makes things clearer for you DickMassive get the artist himself and we get Mrs artist.

Looks like they end up for sale - is [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] aware?
Don't mean to have a downer as the guy can paint but I am not a fan of posts that aren't up front. A quick look at the Youtube channel shows dozens of clubs so this isn't a fan thing.
Any chance it could feature Petee, sat on a Seagull's Travel coach parked in a lay-by next to a pig farm on the A11 in Norfolk?
Hello All,
My husband is an artist who specialises in football portraits and capturing celebratory moments in football and has had to get a commemorative painting done of Albion's fantastic achievement.
I have attached the video of David starting the drawing with Chris Hughton at centre stage, David would really appreciate your input in this work as fans its priceless and would be massively appreciated. Would you help by naming which players you feel should be in this painting, and the finished painting needs a fitting title so all your suggestions will be great. Thank you and congratulations.

This seems a little disingenuous to me. Clearly there is a commercial imperative to your posts and you're hoping to sell prints to fans. That's why you're here. That's not a problem in principle if [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] is happy, but I'm not convinced it makes you much different to unofficial vendors hawking stuff outside a stadium. I'm all for people finding ways to make a living from their creativity - I do it myself - so why not just be clear that that's what you're doing?
Secondly, if you're not a Brighton fan and you're intending to sell stuff to us I think that makes comments on the quality of the work completely fair game. To me this picture looks like the sort of portrait you can get done in 5 minutes in tourist places. Some people like those, so I guess you've got a market.
Finally, telling a regular poster to stop looking at your thread just because you don't like what they're saying seems pretty bad form to me.
Apart from that, please do carry on.
