I have been lucky enough to have made a few appearances with my work over the years. Mainly in association with the designer Julia Kendell.
“Peter Andre’s 60 Minute Makeover” ITV1
Camberley – 1st Transmission date 11th December 2013
The brief was to come up with a solution for two alcoves and a chimney breast. the designer, Julia Kendell, wanted the artwork to be based on Hindu architecture and ornamentation. My friend Chris Westall and myself designed three MDF panels that were cut to shape. We then painted them in a carved stonework trompe l’oeil effect before they was installed.

I appeared on these three shows with Chris Westall, working with Julia Kendell.
Yes it was all done in 1 hour!
Though actually we only get 30-40 minutes, not an hour, as the walls have to be painted first, dried with hair dryers and then once started we have to get out early so the carpet can be laid! The shows are frequently repeated on ITV1.

An Alphonse Mucha copy for Erith, in Kent.
First shown 8.11.07 when I paint an Alphonse Mucha copy wall panel.
My part of the work, Chris added in the foliage.
Mucha died in 1939, so we were within 75 years of that event and his work was still the property of his estate. This meant obtaining a licence to copy it.

In each episode John Myatt teaches three artists from differing fields and backgrounds the techniques and skills to create their own “masterpiece”. Each programme will focus on the work of a different master, understanding their life and mindset and how this influenced their individual style while at the same time learning the weird and wonderful techniques John (a now famous once-forger) used to fool the experts time after time.
