Peter Blake

It was an amazing coincidence when Peter Blake gave us a mention on Radio 4's Arts Programme Front Row. He was there to talk about an exhibition at the V&A in London about Badges. The interview was held in his studio and he opened a drawer and pulled out a badge at random.......and said
"Here you are The Armpit Jug Band Number One Fan. I don't know who they are but I love the name."
Funny thing is that I am a number one fan of Peter Blake.
One of Peter Blake's best known paintings 'Self Portrait with Badges' can be seen at the Tate Gallery in Liverpool and is all about portraying himself as a fan embracing popular culture. Elvis fan!
