Hi All

Wish I could draw/paint like that.

You are very talented. I hope you make a good living from it.

Thanks Big Rob, it's just a hobby of mine that has opened the door to so many projects and meet some cool people

My concern would be who will remember the basis of content in years to come?
I noted it was Warren Brown cartoon. I.E: Ex presenter of Australian SBS Top Gear fame.

I also noticed that they didn't mind charging pretty high bucks for a copy!
But as you say, a nice one for the collection.

Yes agreed, who would want tony on the wall anyway! However I have a clever little plan for this, when it goes into the picture frame, i will insert a narrow cardboard slip in front of the text with something else written on it. Maybe something about Sandmans taking over the White House? Got any suggestions?

I also choked on the cost but decided to think about it another way, i would spend more than that on a night at the pub which might get spewed back out or cause loss of memory. This money will sit on the wall and give me a chuckle for a lot longer than my pub expeditions.

Cheers
