My latest work

I have never claimed to be a painter and never will. But as a one-off effort, I think its shortcomings can be excused. I was painting with my niece the other day and decided to copy an iconic photo of Boro cult hero - and probably my favourite player - Emanuel Pogatetz. Just look at the physical sacrifice the man is prepared to make for Middlesbrough Football Club. It makes him hard not to love.

The original photo is below. As you can see, I had alot of trouble with the referee's head (but at least it's not orange like it was at one stage). I can say with quite some confidence I'll never try painting a bald man again. A truly abysmal effort. In fact Pog is the only one I've vaguely replicated.
