Right, polling is now open – and will remain open until 5pm, Monday 4 November 2013 – so now is the time to choose the portrait which you think best encapsulates Bristol City Council’s GARY HOPKINS, Lib Dem councillor for Knowle.
There’s a £5 bag of meat (or meat substitute) at stake for the artists, so please poll responsibly…
The entries for the Official BRISTOLIAN Gary Hopkins Portrait Meat Raffle Competition are coming in thick and fast – this just in via email from Jeff in Bedminster.
In the words of the artist:
Ive been a bit to kind i think but still…
Remember, voting for the best portrait takes place all next week!
An exquisite entry into the Official BRISTOLIAN Gary Hopkins Portrait Meat Raffle Competition from prolific local artist @guriben.

The unexpected success of the BRISTOLIAN Gallery – and in particular the number of renderings of Gary Hopkins – means that the mooted GARY HOPKINS PORTRAIT MEAT RAFFLE COMPETITION is GO!
With a stupendous prize of a £5 BAG OF FINEST BRISTOL MEAT* up for grabs for the best likeness of BCC’s Councillor Who Most Looks Like A Seventies TV Cop, who wouldn’t want to enter?

5pm, Monday 4 November 2013
The prize winner will be announced at 9am on Tuesday 5 November – to jointly celebrate art, Hopkins, and Bonfire Night!
LET BATTLE COMMENCE!
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.
At the weekend we published angry twitter person @guriben‘s fine painting of Bristol City Council’s £160,000 Chief Executive City Director Nicola ‘Lady Gaga’ Yates, which beautifully captured her essence.
Since then, BRISTOLIAN readers have been sending us yet more municipal masterpieces… So let us direct you to the new Gallery page over yonder – cue the relaxing music…
