You’ve captured him really well Tom. What medium have you used here ?
Tom Godfrey replied

Thanks David. It was basically a pencil sketch, which I scanned and then using photoshop elements (for those who can’t afford Photoshop :)) I added a plastic wrap effect, which gave it an unusal texture. The flag was just partially cloned in, using a pencil cloner in Painter.

Plastic wrap effect? I really should have a better look around PS. Yes, unusual but very effective for this piece. I hope you have this in CP as it would make a fantastic Tee.
