T IM ROGERSON Inspired by Degas and Picasso, Tim was named the official artist of Disneyland's 60th anniversary in 2016. We’re working with the Marvel artist for a limited number of commissioned original drawings, as decided by you! Simply get in touch to let us know which famous character you’d like to see hanging on your wall. PETER SMITH Taken from his new Eccentricus Britannicus collection, this artwork is the perfect chance for all comic book and sci-fi fans to create their own world. Peter let us in on why he wants to hand-paint your chosen character into this intergalactic tale. What makes it so personal? Interaction: how do you get that in a piece of art? That was my first question when I created Doctor Whohoo. The idea for this edition was born from the fact that when you buy a piece of art, it never changes. My mind drifted off into wild daydreams about all the things I wanted but knew I would never get because they didn’t exist, like Willy Wonka’s chocolate river and lickable wallpaper. I decided to be a Willy Wonka of sorts, handing out no-holds-barred creations straight from your imagination. You can ‘wish’ your own piece of art.
Which characters can I pick? Anything goes! Let your imagination run riot and push me to the limits: combine characters, give me one-word starts or create a brand-new superhero – it’s really up to you. I have received requests for drunken rainbow-farting unicorns, Buzz Lightyear/ Rocky Horror Show hybrids, a cat named Buttons, and Alice in Wonderland as an astronaut in the Guardians of the Galaxy world. What do you want to draw? The more imaginative, the better – but anything I can create which has movement in its description is always good. Drunk unicorns, for example, give me an idea of how they will move, while a hip-thrusting Bungle from the popular children’s programme Rainbow both disturbs and excites me.
