When you are a lover of art work then you are always on the look out for the top young artists as well as established legends. However, on occasion you have artists that you not only relate to on an art level but there is something else that captures your interest. This can be down to the personality of the artist for example, as artists like Julius Shulman have had a lot of public credibility whilst being panned by art critics.
Rolf Harris is an artist that is loved by your average family. Mainly this is as a result of his pop songs and TV shows like Animal Hospital. Rolf Harris is also a legendary painter and has even been given the honour of producing a portrait of the Queen. Rolf’s likable personality comes over in everything he does, which is why he is such a popular celebrity. Because of this Rolf Harris artist prints have sold very well in the UK.
British artist David Shepherd paints landscapes, animals and steam trains. He is a big steam train fan but is also known for his conservation work. He even started up the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and has been awarded an OBE for services to the conservation of animals. Many David Shepherd prints raise awareness of conservation problems.
Sylvia Ji is a unique young artist from San Francisco. Sylvia Ji prints and paintings can be provocative and frequently use a range of themes and styles that wouldn’t seem out of place in a tattoo convention. Unlike other artists Sylvia Ji has embraced the use of new social sites like Myspace to promote herself and her art. This has made her seem increasingly popular, as people can talk to her and relate to her on a more personal level.
