Portrait of an adman
A painting of Russel Howcroft has been entered into a portrait competition by the artist Matthew Quick, who is gunning for the Archibald Prize.
In the painting, the GPY&R CEO is depicted as a fairly typical adman, leaning imposingly over a boardroom table. And doesn’t his head looks a little big?

Dr Mumbo is no artist, but thinks it’s a fine effort.

Gee Russell, was he trying to capture you a few years on? Granted it’s definitely a good resemblance, but it looks like you’ve been on the turps for more than a few years in the portrait with that ruddy complexion!!! Then again, if he was trying to capture the halcyon days of advertising (circa 1980’s) I guess he’s done a good job. 🙂
