I think this is absolutely fantastic. I was lucky enough to see the Tony Blair piece at London Art Fair. This artist in definitely one to watch as in a few years time, she will be up there with Tracy Emin, Banksy, Hurst!
Dave, legend. No more to say.
David D has supported and mentored so many people over the years. Humble and talented, a true legend
