His George Bush work is quite uncomfortable, but amazing all at the same time (I get the impression he wasn't much of a fan!). <br /><br />If you follow the link to the Here's Johnny DVD, they are also selling limited edition prints - you can see 2 of his Bush pieces there.<br /><br />Thanks Lil - It was a very interesting doc wasn't it? Be a nice touch in C4\More4 repeated it now as a tribute.<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-24096674576096097802010-04-05T09:53:14.519+01:002010-04-05T09:53:14.519+01:00I watched “Heres Johnny” when it was aired, and be...I watched “Heres Johnny” when it was aired, and became interested in his art & his story.<br />Fantastic artist!

It's cold comfort given his age and what he must have suffered, but that's an amazing body of work to have left behind as a legacy.Kolley Kibberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055145770836351738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-46909359142555400282010-04-03T00:18:28.955+01:002010-04-03T00:18:28.955+01:00You're not wrong Martin...

When you think of all the cretins there are in the world these days it seems a shame that someone with a genuine talent has to leave it so early. Just highlights yet again what a cruel place this world can be.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15938831260403899842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-40973674867324311602010-04-02T21:51:02.935+01:002010-04-02T21:51:02.935+01:00Mondo - yeah, he deserves that... with all proceed...Mondo - yeah, he deserves that... with all proceeds to MS would be a nice touch (Johnny was a big campaigner for the cause, and fought for better understanding and treatment right to the end).<br /><br />Heff - Yes indeed, rather sobering isn't it??<br /><br />PPileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540380685492699957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-47636629640428119.post-88620990006919642832010-04-02T21:40:12.945+01:002010-04-02T21:40:12.945+01:00Damn.
