Posted by Johnny Lord on
After a short brake to rest and recuperate, we're back at it. During the summer I picked up some new skills to help me create my art and spent time with family. This week I've been finishing another football piece. We've added aa couple of pieces to the store too. There's a Lapham inspired fan art painting and also Billy Bremner x Victorian Gentlemen's Club portrait. Thanks & enjoy the summer warmth, whilst it's still with us! Johnnyinthe56
