‘I’ve Listened Now Fuck Off OK?’

Another email submitted rendering of our esteemed MILLIONAIRE MAYOR, this time from Paul Saville, who writes:

Hi there, I would like to enter my two drawings into the Bristolian meat draw. My drawings have taken me a lot of time and effort, and I have tried to get the likeness as close as possible. I have gone for ‘Gus Hoyt & Rob Telford’ who are ashley councillors in Bristol. I have also done a drawing of George ‘Eff off’ Ferguson telling anyone in his vicinity that ‘he has listened, now fuck off ok?’

Fingers crossed and if I win, I’ll be donating the meat to a charity auction, to raise funds for knowle west media centre (I don’t eat meat) Even if I don’t win, it would be great to see my images put up on the drawing section. I especially like Durston Fletchers drawing of Gary Hopkins and I think it is of great likeness.

Keep up the good work,

Paul ‘eff off’ Saville.

Cheers Paul – and your other pictures will follow soon.

Our artistic odyssey continues, with Popular Local Radio DJ (it says here) From Bristol With Love‘s very own Durston Fletcher submitting this bold entry into our Best Gary Hopkins Portrait Meat Raffle competition.

Durston has been very busy of late thanks to a burgeoning feud between him and Bristol & Bumpkinshire Chief Constable Nick Gargan (see The BRISTOLIAN #4.7, out this week!), so big BRISTOLIAN thanks to him for taking time out of his busy arch-nemesissing schedule to make beautiful images for us.
