Over on the ARRSE thread I've been 'displaying' some artwork I've been working on, I have been asked if I could display this work on here.
Firstly, I should like to explain my artwork so you all understand what it's about mates.
I have never had any formal art training having ditched 'O' Level art at school in favour of German! I have always drawn as a hobby and really enjoy it. In Paderborn I was responsible for designing more C Squadron sweatshirts than I can remember.
Anyway, this year I was doodling and thinking of the 90th Anniversary of Cambrai. I came up with a drawing of 5 crewmen and their Mk IV Male (the other 3 crewmen probably being drunk somewhere?!), added some lyrics from a song of 1916 called 'When the Tanks broke the ranks in Picardy' and also Special Order No 6. The picture shows the guys the day before Cambrai thinking about S.O. No 6 and the coming battle the next day.
I took a poor photo and posted it on Arrse - next thing I know I've had to get it produced into prints. It's large at A1 size and has been selling as a signed limited edition at £45 incl P&P. I still have some left so feel free to contact me to order one they come in tubes by 1st class post. I will never get rich or make a living from this, I just like to be able to give mates memories, so all 3RTR get discounted prices more on that later. Either way even if you don't want one feedback good or bad is always welcome so see what you think of the Cambrai print? Incidently the printer put a protector word over it - it doesn't come with that on it!!?!?!
