Yes it was for the Radio Times. Mid nineties, long after the so called 'golden age' of illustration (according to designer Mike Dempsey) for the BBC's listings magazine. It was drawn in cut out coloured paper. I received correspondence at the time congratulating me on my computer art...........no just a scalpel and a wad of coloured paper and a stick of charcoal. The original probably measures 22 inches by 30 inches and was printed about the size of a stamp. It was one of a series that included Stephen Fry, Cilla Black, Robbie Coltrane, Lenny Henry and the recently departed Bob Hoskins, all done with the same technique.
Love the Duke Ellington 'poster'. Was it ever used?
