Captured here at his peak in this limited edition of 50 Pop Art Disruptive print. Signed by the Artist Jim Wheat honouring one of this actor, author and photographer with his picture duplicated across four squares, each one washed with a neon colour in the style of Pop Art portraiture, and subtly emblazoned with the dollar sign.
