This man is clutching a painting by me. In a washline mount by me. In a hand-finished frame (by me.) (Crap photo by my cousin)
The big question is: Who is he?

I have honestly no idea who the guy is, however, based on his appearance/home/car he appears to have/had a few £££'s

Alas the man is no longer with us.
In his lifetime he was very famous. A household name. A Legend.

Unfortunately after the events of the last month he is one of a list that is getting longer by the day!

OK. Clue.
In his heyday you could buy action figures of him and all sorts of merchandising including costumes..
NOT Batman.

Yep. That's the man. The BBC did a doco on him in the '90s and my cousin co-produced it. She found out he liked collecting art so to butter him up a bit decided to take him a little painting. He's on his ranch in Montana.
