I applied to be on the next Rolf on Art show when they showed a phone number to call at the end of ‘Rolf on Art - The Mona Lisa’ programme. I had to say in 30 Seconds why I should be picked. I said that I have just won a competition naming me ‘Brighton Artist 2005’ and that I was very impressed when they did the Mona Lisa. I said I thought it would be great to take part in a unique version of Henry VIII.
After a couple of days the BBC phoned and interviewed me. I then had to send examples of my work and get references for them. A short while later I got a letter to say that I was successful! I would be one of the 108 artists taking part out of 3000 original applicants.
