(2)... Ever since I was hired to paint Robbie's portrait I knew that it was going to be everywhere but I'm still flabbergasted every time it happens. So very exciting!! 😁 The new song "Pretty Face" he sang on the show was brilliant! Loved it! ❤️

This is so cool! ❤️ Robbie was on Graham Norton's show yesterday promoting his new album. It feels so surreal to see my art on the show that I love, especially with Julia Roberts, Colin Farrel, Benedict Cumberbatch and Gloria Estefan present as well! 😁

Did you know that at this point in time 72% of the world's population lives in autocracies – the highest level since 1978? And more are sliding that way fast.

I had the privilege of being at the photoshoot for the cover as well and it was an amazing experience!

The painting is based on the iconic photo of Robbie taken during the Glastonbury Festival in 1995 just before he left Take That. It was so much fun creating it and it was a challenge to keep it a secret! 😁

I can finally reveal that I have the pleasure and honour of being the artist behind the painting on the cover of Robbie Williams' new album "Britpop"! 😁 The cover and Robbie's new single "Rocket" was just released this morning and it's fantastic! We have lift off! 💥🚀😁

I'm still posting on Instagram. But wondering what the purpose of this platform is anymore. Everyone's reach is limited but it really is painful when you have little following to begin with. I'm not expecting anything from Instagram at this point.

Thought I'd share making of Kira's portrait :)

Bit more painting to share. It's still the first layer so a lot of adjustments will be done in consecutive stages, but the block in layer always looks best as you can see biggest changes happening in a short amount of time :)
