"Dear Alfie First let me thank you for making the party a success. I greatly enjoyed the 19 caricatures you made in a marathon session. I've passed your name to a few who asked, as they like your work. I attach a scan of Henry VIII. Thanks again, see you again. Regards, Chris"
13th March ' 11Plundering the vaults...here's some sketchbook stuff from 1991. Yep, I'm THAT old ;0). M y first proper gig. Whilst at Chelsea I was asked to do a sketch of a bachelor and a spinster to go on the invitations, as well as doing drawings at the actual event.
I still draw people on the tube, but here's one I made twenty years earlier.
Below is "Hugh Number Two", who used to be a regular at the Drayton Arms on Old Brompton Road in South Kensington. A few weeks ago a friend told me he'd passed away. Sad news...such is life...or death :-/. RIP.
