It is with sadness that I report that Harri (Jetprovost) is unable to do anymore of his wonderful Harricatures. I believe that there are still 3 members waiting for theirs from the last 3 MOM's. If you are please PM me to remind me, as Harri still hopes to provide you with your Harricatures.
The reason for this is that Harri has been asked to put on a show of his work in a Gallery. Not his Harricatures but "proper" art. This gallery is in December and Harri is using all of his spare time to create finished pieces for display. He regrets not being able to do any more Harricatures (hopefully just for the time being) but I hope that you will appreciate what a great oppertunity this is for Harri. I have seen what he has been working on recently and I can assure you that it will be well worth a trip to see his stuff in December. I'll put up more details when I know them.
See I told you that those Harricatures could be worth allot more in the future.

A great big congratulations to Harri
It is great when someone actually gets to accomplish and live a big dream like that.
Best of wishes for your show and hope that will be only just the beginning for you

Here is my tribute to Harri's talent. And also for anyone who has not yet seen some of his Harricatures. Also check out his gallery. There are a few pics of some of his other work in there. The man is a very gifted artist.

Although I have not had the privilege to own a harricature but I have seen Lampies and all I can say is wow.

All the best of luck to Harri and i hope it all works out for him

Hi Mal

That's wonderful news for Harri - I wish him every success with the exhibition. It makes me feel prouder than ever of the little I-16 Harricature on the mantlepiece!



All the best

Well Lampie's Harricature will appear in a Cross and Cockade sometime this year and there are a few in my gallery (under Harricatures). These are early ones when Harri was just trying things out.
