Author and Artist John Allsopp, has recently been asked about his portrait featuring Kevin Keegan, and Orlando together with Disney. What's the connection?

Orlando-Florida-Art

Simple really as John explained. John Allsopp is a realistic Artist who spends many hours perfecting his realist art. They are, "very real and look like photographs" Kevin managed a Newcastle united football club which is located in the North East of England where John lives.

Orlando is a very special place where John has spent many happy holidays in his favorite theme park, Magic Kingdom which of course is where Mickey Mouse lives, John is a Disney fan and spent his early artistic career drawing and painting Disney cartoon characters that he would find in the magazines and comics of his day.

Keegan has been captured in a pose which suggests he is about to turn to you and say hello! Many people see this in John Allsopp's painting. John explained that movement comes from prospective and he thinks he's caught this well, due to the comments he has received about his work.

John Allsopp is known for his portraiture of the Queen Mother which every body loves, many people say it is just like my own Grand mother; John's work captures the Queen Mother in a very understanding listening pose which most people are attracted too. The Queen Mums facial expression has been captured in a sort of, "Now dear let grandma sort things out" type of capture.

John is often asked about his technique used to capture his portraits so realistically. It's all down to projection, said John. John uses clear colored pictures which he converts into acetate slides used by John to project the image onto canvas or paper, its an old fashioned technique similar to the camera obscurer used by classic artists.

An explanation in a nut shell, Orlando the famous home of Mickey Mouse, Disney comics where John would paint and draw Disney characters in his spare time, Kevin Keegan a Football Manager caught by the realistic techniques of John Allsopp, connections are interesting.

I wonder what your abstract series of connections have led you to in life.
