I adore Sherriff's work. One of my biggest influences.
Yes, you can see that in your work. Do you own any originals? Thanks for your comment Jonathan.
I wish I did! I had a conversation with someone in a cartoon art gallery a few years back who told me about a job lot of Sherriffs originals coming up for auction and selling for very little as no one at the auction was aware of him! Wish I'd have been there.
I've seen that happen- Uli Meyer & I went along to view some Searle's at Christie's last year. We discovered a folder of great Sheriffs and Uli bagged the lot!
