Transporter Bridge
An unusual depiction of the transporter bridge here! I like it! It's as though you're standing under the water and looking up at it. There are so many pictures of the bridge, both digital and painted - but i've never seen one done like this before. The bridge was built back in 1911 and celebrated being open for one hundred years last October. It has been featured in films and TV shows such as Billy Elliot, The Fast Show and Auf Wiedersehen Pet (one of the scenes was of them taking the bridge down and apparently loads of people were ringing up the council going mad and thinking it had really happened).

Marilyn Monroe
A canvas of Marilyn Monroe which has been designed with an abstract/ scribble effect. Quite arty I reckon. Such a beautiful woman inside and out. She was brought up in foster homes and began her career as a model, and it was from this that she was spotted and got her break as an actress. Because she was usually cast in the role of 'blonde bimbo', people assumed that she was a bit dim, but it's clear that most people who worked with her, either fell in love with her or respected her acting skills (or both). Director Joshua Logan said "I found Marilyn to be one of the greatest talents of all time. She struck me as being a much brighter person than I had ever imagined, and I think that was the first time I learned that intelligence and, yes, brilliance have nothing to do with education".

Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix on fire!
This guy was one of the best guitarists of all time. He taught himself to play the guitar and could play it behind his back as well as with his teeth (not at the same time mind). Jimi is a member  of the tragic 'Twenty-Seven Club' - Legendary artists who died at the age of 27. The 'club' (seems a bit wrong to call it that) includes artists such as Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones. Jimi left behind three hundred un-released recordings! He was a left handed guitarist and used to buy right handed fender stratocasters, turn them upside down and re-string them for left handed playing. An eccentric fellow! He was also pretty flamoboyant with his clothing.

Audrey Hepburn
Again we have the scribble effect and in black and white, but with Audrey Hepburn this time. A stunning image of an icon best known for her role in Breakfast at Tiffany's and My Fair Lady. She had originally trained as a ballerina but was told that although she would be successful, she would not make it as a prima ballerina due to her height (5'7") and the fact she had been under nourished during the war years. So she decided to give acting a go. She spent fifteen years in the film industry and became a massive fashion icon - known for her grace and elegance (and big thick eyebrows). Every time I read one of her quotes, I think she is one wise lady . Here is one of my favourites: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

Well, that's all for today. Let us know what you think about the new designs! Have a good weekend :)
