This photo of me drawing at the Tate Britain Museum in London was taken by my assistant and comic art restoration specialist Allan Harvey back in 2017 - when I still had hair.
I like to do studies of art while in museums, but sometimes I like to wig people out by drawing from my imagination, as I am doing here.
It was fun seeing people trying to figure out what I was copying when I wasn't actually copying anything.
Petty artist thrills. Good times.
I was sitting in front of William Holman Hunt's painting The Lady of Shallot.

The Blue Rigi, Sunrise (1842) 🎨 Joseph Mallord William Turner 🏛️ Tate Britain 📍 London, United Kingdom
The Blue Rigi depicts the Rigi mountain in central Switzerland, viewed from the southwest across Lake Lucerne. The "Queen of Mountains" is blue in the early morning light, wreathed by veils of morning mist. The tonality is built up with layers of color wash, with fine detail added through cross-hatching with a fine brush. Two “stars”, of which the brighter one often erroneously identified as Venus, glint in the yellow morning sky above, where paint has been scratched out with a fingernail to reveal the bright white ground. In the left foreground, drawn in with pen and brown ink, ducks can be seen rising from the lake, alarmed by a gunshot and chased by two dogs, to the right foreground.

Went to the Sargent and Fashion exhibition last week and wasn’t prepared for this. Excuse the shoddy quality, I was too excited
