Peter Howson - BBC iplayer doc, by klyde on Nov 25, 2010 8:42:44 GMT 1,
Not urban art but I think this man is a genius.
His huge canvases in person are incredible.
Fascinating insight into his life.
The Madness of Peter Howson
Film which follows Peter Howson's commission to paint the largest-ever crowd scene in British art history, one that took him to the brink of bankruptcy and the edge of sanity.

Peter Howson - BBC iplayer doc, by ricobenfico on Nov 26, 2010 21:44:47 GMT 1, There's currently a Peter Howson exhibition on in Edinburgh at Alpha Art. It's a joint show with his protege Frank McFadden. If you have not seen Frank's work, I'd urge you to look it up. There is a great hostory to this story too when you consider it. Was lucky enough to meet Frank at the preview night. Lovely guy and with many demons in his past too which come through in his work, that has clear influence from Howson.
Might still have a couple flyers left from this show, if interested PM

Never heard of him before, but now I won't forget him.
Brilliant, a True Living Master.

Peter Howson - BBC iplayer doc, by dotdot on Nov 29, 2010 22:53:21 GMT 1, I remember a good few years back ... paying a visit to the shambles that was Paddys market in Glasgow.
one stall holder had about 20 small, some in colour, drawings behind his stall, pride of place.
Peter did them for him ... and gifted them all.
the guy is out there - light years from both neate and mic.
