Watchmen Artist and Co-Creator Dave Gibbons BBC TV


MONDAY MARCH 18TH 2013:
News: From Roy Lichtenstein's 'WHAAM!' to Dave Gibbons' 'WHAAT?'

Watchmen artist and co-creator Dave Gibbons was interviewed on BBC Tv recently on a Documentry about Pop Art painting "WHAAM!" by Roy Lichtenstein which is showcasing at London's very own Tate art muesuem.

 Gibbons commented: "I intend to do a HUUGE stretched canvas version. The idea would be to present it in as much the same way as the Lichtenstein version as we could. I would then sell it and donate the profits to the Hero Initiative.”
