‘FRAMPTON’, measuring 122cm x 81cm this piece was so much fun to create. From the start I shared the post with Frampton on Twitter, he give me support which pushed me on to create my best work.

Carl Frampton is a much loved sports personality in Northern Ireland. I remember regularly getting together with friends to cheer him on in his fights. He was always NIs golden boy as fans travelled the world to see him in his glory. I knew I was going to do this piece justice from the reference picture. It’s a moody shot, with the face over exposed and T-shirt fading into the background. He has strong features which were easy and fun to draw/ paint. His stubble took a time but I was chuffed with how it turned out. Finished piece = awesome

Make sure to watch the ‘Making of’ video below, but to sum it up, it was as follows:
