RoadFogg

In autumn last year I wanted to organise something really different for Mr Fogg for either Christmas or his Birthday.

I considered all sorts of options and finally opted to see if I could have a caricature done of him on his bike. Failing to find any artist remotely interested in that idea I unbelievably turned to eBay, only to find a local artist who lives literally 10 mins away from us. After talking through ideas and looking at his work, I decided to go for a more grown up result (yes we do pretend to be adults occasionally)

Doing everything via email and phone calls, Steve the artist produced an incredible pencil drawing of Mr Fogg on his Harley. It was great to see the picture develop and took him weeks of painstaking drawings to get the bike details, fine tune the background and free hand draw boots on my very own biker (the original source photo was of Mr Fogg while cleaning the bike complete with green wellies on).

I think it turned out very well.
