Notes
“‘Where’s Ted’ is a painting of a long-lost friend, which I painted three years ago, in the hope that I might find him. I’m so happy to donate this artwork to The Big Issue. With the events of this year; the work of The Big Issue is more important now than ever. With so many more people finding themselves in difficult and challenging situations; The Big Issue shines a light and offers hope to people where it is most needed.”- Unskilled Worker, 2020.
