It looks amazing man. I'm glad you finished it, and I'm glad that it seems to have brought you through something.

Well today was somewhat eventful.

Ayrton Senna's niece, Bianca, stopped by the gallery to see the painting :shock:

Utterly humbled :oops:

Only just caught up with this.

Your blog entry is a truly inspiring read, very well written and some down to earth realities. Very well done.

How did Biannca come to know about the painting and then drop by?

@Gayno, thanks very much for your kind words mate. I didn't intend to write all that, it just kind of happened :oops:

Spiderman and Senna ?!

Post by bennyboy » Fri Dec 05, 2014 3:56 pm

I can't believe how quickly the months fly by....

Another little update on a few of my latest works:

A bit of charity work that went really well, my canvas raised £310 for them. :)
Image

A large (6'x3') Spidey :D :
Image

And one I'm quite tempted to keep. 1988 McLaren Honda MP4/4 with Ayrton Senna's crash helmet.
6'x2' and on aluminium.

Image

A few more pics of it here:

and a video here.

Hope you like! :)
