Original artwork description:

Ice lollies and ice creams have been a regular feature of my work since I started painting, particularly the image of the Fab Lolly. I even got commissioned to paint a giant mural of an ice cream and a Fab in London in 2016. You can still see it in Stoke Newington, see the 'me at work' section for photos. _x000D_ _x000D_ This new painting is a recreation of that mural on canvas. I originally created it to hang as part of a solo exhibition in a cafe in London near to the original mural. The photo of the painting against the vintage tiles shows it hanging in the exhibition._x000D_ _x000D_ Set against my trademark sky blue background is the classic Mr Whippy 99 ice cream, with a flake of course, lined up next to the classic Fab, which is a layer of raspberry ice, then one layer of ice cream, then a chocolate and sprinkles topping._x000D_ _x000D_ It's a classic image capturing a very British feeling of summer time and holiday nostalgia. The end result is a bold and colourful painting that would brighten up any room in the house. _x000D_ _x000D_ Size -_x000D_ 50 x 60 cm (3cm thick)_x000D_ 19.6 x 23.6 inches (1 inch thick)_x000D_ _x000D_ The work was completed in acrylic paint and Posca paint pen on canvas. It is signed and dated on the back frame of the painting. _x000D_ _x000D_ My style of painting and illustration is heavily influenced by classic pop art like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, modern day graphic design, cartoons, and food packaging.
