Much like a badger using a cloaking device on a dark night, this 10x8 print of Paul Ross has been sadly overlooked by the general public.
The reasons for this remain largely unclear. Was it Ross' open-mouthed, alluring pose? Or perhaps the lack of respectable foliage in the background? Whatever the reason, it should not put you off this wonderful print of the man whose name you see on Billboards everywhere (normally alongside the word 'Fabulous' and 5 glowing stars).
The quality of the print - which hangs in the hallway of my flat and leaves guests slack-jawed in wonderment - is simply phenomenal. You can make out literally every smile line on Ross' face and he stares, goggle-eyed, into the lens of the proud photographer. As an added bonus, the matt finish also makes it easily washable should you accidentally spill tea or cranberry juice on it. It can also be used as a sort-of scarecrow, as it has recently been discovered that large birds suffer from a fear of high-quality film reviewing.
Compared with the more popular 20" canvas print, this version is perhaps more suited to the hallways and bathrooms of the world and it has clearly proved less of a seller than it's more glamourous companion, but, nevertheless, the quality and talent which has gone into creating this materpiece cannot be denied.
A must-buy for anyone who, like me, simply cannot get enough of the man they call Paul 'five-stars' Ross.
