Robbie Williams: Art Star

It's a mad house, this modern life.. ain't it? Well, Karen O might think so, but here's a news feature from ContactMusic declaring that Robbie Wiliams sure doesn't; he has decided to sell some artwork he's done of... yes, you guessed it, HIMSELF.

British pop hunk ROBBIE WILLIAMS has created a series of artworks featuring his own likeness for a new exhibition. The ROCK DJ hitmaker's head and shoulders star in a series of black and white images, dotted with blocks of colour. The 32-year-old's four artworks will go on display at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff from Monday (27NOV06), with an asking price of $5,310 (GBP2,950). An exhibition spokesman says, "Robbie's a real artist - both in his music and his pictures. We wanted to bring art into the 21st century and make it interesting for younger people. Robbie's perfect for that."

The quote from the spokesperson is truly fantastic, if I don't say so myself.

Would you buy one of these pieces? (Jen, we know you would but anyone else out there?)

As a side note, a few years back when Interpol was pushing Antics they opened a mini art gallery of sorts in SoHo (anyone remember that?) and were selling posters & original pieces which consisted of their likenesses (created by someone outside of the band) and I still treasure a Daniel Kessler 18X24 I bought that day 2 years ago.
