In 2006 David and Mary Schwietzer wrote and performed a CD of songs about famous artists and asked me to help illustrate it. It is on sale at the Tate and it’s excellent (although not totally too sure about the illustrations though), in fact you could probably scrape a good pass at GCSE History of Art with it.
