  • Artist Beryl Cook News, 28th January 2009 – New Release ‘Drinkies’

    We are delighted to announce that there is a new Beryl Cook limited edition print being released, with more to follow later in the year.

    The first of which will be called ‘Drinkies’ and is the all too familiar (lol) scene of a ‘fat lady’ in her underwear, at home, and at the drinks cabinet!..the item is to be released on the 30th January 2009.

    (‘Drinkies’ by Beryl Cook)

    This delightful and cheeky image follows in the footsteps of all her previous work and will make an excellent addition to any Beryl Cook collection. I can’t see how this wouldn’t bring a smile to anyone’s face.

    Of note, these are numbered limited editions of 650 and of course, will NOT be signed by Beryl Cook, as this is the first posthumous publication.

    (‘Tenerife Days’ by Beryl Cook
    This is an older release but one of my favourites)

    According to the publishers of her work:

    “Her express wish and that of her family was that her pictures should continue to be made available for reproduction after her passing”

    Your comments on the piece are of course more than welcome. Her new image will im sure capture the public imagination yet again!

    Thank you

  • Gary Hodges Artist – New Release for 2009 ‘Baby Love’ Hippos

    One of Britain’s best loved wildlife artists, Gary Hodges is back with a new release that has been very eagerly awaited.

    (‘Baby Love’ by Gary Hodges)

    Simply called ‘Baby Love,’ this latest release features a mother & baby hippo in the water and it has been beautifully captured by the artist.

    Gary tells us that it was inspired by his trip in 2007 to the Ngorongoro Crater game reserve in Tanzania and his observations of Hippopotamus.

    Undoubtedly Gary is one of the masters of Pencil/Graphite drawing, other great artists that spring to mind being David Shepherd, Mike Sibley & Peter Hildick whose artwork is both loved and collected by art lovers all over the world.

    (‘Family’ featuring Meerkats by Gary Hodges)

    I would say that over the last 20 years, Gary has been one of the consistently best selling artists in the UK, his older limited edition now sell for considerable amounts of money.

    ‘Baby Love’ is a valuable addition to Gary Hodges’s huge range of limited editions and is bound to sell out very quickly.

    Thank you
