Boxing Artwork - Commissions

[DavidPayne]

My good lady wife invested a relatively modest sum with local artist Paul Grant to paint the famous moment Rocky Marciano decks Jersey Joe Walcott as a present for my 40th birthday - the fact my 40th isn't until 2013 was lost on my good lady wife who thought it was this year, but thats another story - anyway. The end result is 4ft by3ft or there abouts and is very, very striking.

The artist is eager for new commissions, so those of you with the cash to indulge, I couldn't recommend him any higher.



If you would like his details, just drop me an email at [email protected] - and no, I'm not on commission. But he deserves some exposure.

Good painting, stylised but done nicely.

Cracking isn't it. Cheers. Beats slippers and Hi Karate.

Brilliant pic'. If you don't mind me asking, how much would something like that cost?

[DavidPayne]

I couldn't comment too specifically as I got a favourable deal due to his wife teaching at my children's school. However, I'd venture you get something like this for £250 maybe less. And this is large, obviously size informs.

Just had a look at his portfolio, very very good. This pic features in it

Something I'll certainly consider in the future.

Cut the sales patter and tell me costs, dammit. Also how long did it take to do?

[DavidPayne]

It aint sales patter Poncey you miserable shit-house. I can put you in touch with him direct.

He started mine mid-January. I got it yesterday. He was given commission in November I think.

He was specifically told he didn't need to do it until January as to not raid the Christmas coffers.

I like the look of his art, very cool. Have my b/day coming up so may have a chat with the missus tonight. Thanks again.

If you contact him mention where the recommendation came from.

[DavidPayne]

Fantastic piece of Art Work and i'm surprised at the price tag, thought it would have cost a fair bit more.....

I was guessing. As I mention I got a friendly price due to connection with him.

But sure he's open to negotiation subject to his workload.
