BBC drops into the ANTFOX Gallery

Sat outside the gallery one morning and I became aware that someone was behind me.

‘Excuse me Sir, do you mind if we film you for a section putting together for the BBC’s The One Show?’.

‘Not at all', what’s it about?

‘What makes us happy.’

Bemused, ‘If I’m not painting, I’m not happy. The only time I’m happy is when I’m painting .’ was the first thing that came out.

My old favourite is, ‘find something you love and you will never work a day in your life.’ a quote often attributed to Confucius or thereabouts.

Either way, they caught me at a moment of reflection having recently moved into being a full time artist seems to be agreeing with me.

Aired on 27 May 2019 BBC One, The One Show.

BEER

I am proud to announce that in collaboration with Marwood Coffee Shop & Unbarred Brewery We have created a Beer

A while a go I did a painting for the owners Harry & Raf which hangs proudly on the wall behind the bar. Because of that painting they asked me if I would design the beer can for their new beer,, and at last, here it is

The beer is called “Jump in the Line” (after Harry’s favourite song) and is described as a “Conga starting Pale ale 5.7%”

The design features a scene of the inside of the Bar and characters including the brewers and staff.

So get down to Marwoods (52 Ship Street, Brighton) and grab yourself a beer.

Tell them that you are a friend of Ant and get a 10% discount (t&c’s apply (and depending what kind of mood Harry is in)).
