THE ARTIST: MR RICHIE CULVER!

Throughout the summer, wherever you went in London, Mr Richie Culver's face was inescapable. Pasted onto hoardings and pinned from billboards in parks and tube stations, the blossoming artist could be seen on a poster, dressed in a wrinkly white cotton T-shirt, sleeves effortlessly rolled up to reveal armfuls of inky scrawl, his fingers linked into a bony lattice while his identifying black hat and long brown beard made him seem like some kind of hipster Jesus. It's true Mr Culver has a strong look, one that - despite these biblical references - he has made entirely his own. It's little wonder that other artists are so drawn to capture his spirit, a man who can look both resilient and susceptible in the blink of an eye.

It's peculiar seeing your face around town, especially when you get recognised. Some people think I'm more famous than I actually am - the poor sods!
