Probably my favourite artist - Adam Neate. We went to his exhibition in London 2012 and randomly he was there! It was the last day of the exhibition and he was in to sort things before he went to Japan!
Proper awe struck...I used to own one of his pieces and I sold it for £1500. This is worth more to me and it cost me £10 :-))) Chatted to him for about 5 mins and he went crazy with a gold marker pen on the print and also signed it !! What a really nice bloke.

"Adam Neate specialises in painting Urban Art on recycled cardboard and over recent years has left thousands of works in the street for anyone to find and keep.
Many of these ‘left’ works are painted on cardboard boxes, which he collected from the street, to avoid the cost of canvas.
More recently, much of his work is three-dimensional, as he tears the material, builds it in layers and staples pieces together, mainly making figurative images, which include self-portraits and portraits of friends.
Adam Neate has not only become one of Urban Art’s leading lights, he has also received acclaim, in Britain, from the established art world including the Tate, the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery."
