Today I received a link to download my very own copy of "Escape to the Country".
Not because Jenny and I always enjoy the programme - although we do.
Not because we know anyone featured - we don't.
Not because... well, I could keep this going all day
No... because a piece of my artwork appeared on a wall in one of the properties. This isn't the first time we've seen my work on TV (John Prescott, for example, had my Bassett head-study hanging in his kitchen).
But it is the first time anyone has asked for my permission to display it. Frankly, I'm surprised, because I thought art on a wall would probably be classed as "people walking past the camera" and therefore not need a signed release form in order to air it.
So, what are we talking about here? A sideways shot of a Boxer print that you could miss if you weren't looking for it... and it's not even a print.... it's a matted and framed greetings card!
Naked TV did ask that I keep my copy strictly for personal use... but I just found it's been released on YouTube - so, here you go:
Escape to the Country: #14
Good luck spotting the print - at 23:13 for all of 4 seconds behind Nicki's head
And again 23:30 to 23:40. Do you think I should add "AS SEEN ON TV" to my website?
As seen on TV! :)

I love that show! And I am always entranced by how GREEN your countryside is. Then I dream of owning a little cottage on the Cornwall coast or something. Until it starts to rain. lol.
congratulations, I spotted your drawing immediately! Maybe you could to a screen save with 'As featured on...'?

Well.... I was joking I'm not sure that 14 seconds of a framed greetings card in the background actually raises me to "star" status...LindasPencils wrote: ↑Fri Jan 08, 2021 3:27 am Maybe you could to a screen save with 'As featured on...'?
...but that's a good thought. I'm really not very good at this "self-promotion" thing. Actually, if I'm honest, I'm terrible at it
