Elvis and Lisa Marie by Sarah Doyle
Here is my quote about Elvis from the show:
I was talking to a woman who told me that her mum loved Elvis so much that as a teenager she scratched his name into her forearm with a compass. I wouldn't say my love of Elvis is anything close to that extreme, however I do appreciate a beautiful man when I see one and Elvis certainly was very beautiful in his youth.
I would say that my favourite Elvis song would have to be "In the Ghetto" as I do love a good melodrama.
I have painted Elvis with Priscilla as they are such a beautiful couple and Priscilla's makeup with her winged eyeliner was always amazing. I have also painted him with baby Lisa Marie as I hadn't seen this photo of him with his baby before and thought it was really lovely.
The exhibition opens on July 18th and there is a really fab line up of artists taking part. Here is Harry's blog about the show and the artists on the Rebel Mag
