Paul Dobson - Torbay Artsbase Award Winner 2008 for Creative Contribution to the Community co-winner with Sarah Welsh for coordinating "Space Invaders" - a project to occupy as many empty shop spaces in the towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham to brighten up and showcase the variety of talent of Artists in the South of Devon
A message from the Artist, 'My aim is to produce quality original artwork in a "no frills" manner. I try to make owning your own portrait or the painting of your choice as easy as possible, without you having to pay for all the extra costs of expensive gallery locations and other overheads normally associated with art. I will meet or telephone you to discuss your requirements, and can work from photos you already have, or for your convenience, I will take photos for you to work from. I will produce a digital proof for your approval, to give you an idea of the finished artwork. This is subject to a non-refundable deposit of £20, which covers the cost of the proof and secures the deadline for the painting. Each piece is painted using quality materials, finished ready to hang, signed and dated by me. As my work is often copied, each piece comes with it's own certificate of authenticity signed by me, the Artist.' Paul R. Dobson, Popart & Retro Design.
