Hi Adebanji,
You don’t know me but you know my work!!!! What are the odds of me sitting down with my dinner and watching The One Show a while back and you were sketching at a Convention. You said, ‘I used to copy this guy’s artwork in every detail and I learned to draw figures from him…’ and you held up my Artwork, Roy of the Rovers!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!! I am very proud to have been of assistance in your illustrious career (please send a cheque in the post!) and I have seen you painting portraits on the One Show which are brill!! Well done!.
I love painting in Oils myself and think it is the best medium ever.
Keep up the good work and I wish you every success!
It would be nice if we could meet up sometime.
Cheers

Hello Sir! I want to be a pro artist and a designer as I want to uplift people through the way I see ,by showing them the way out of the tunnel. Can you give me the best advice you give
The Best advice I can give you is to make sure you work on your mindset first. You must develop a strong positive mindset about what you can do and how you think you can go about it. Once you have that, start writing down all your plans and moves, even though you may not have all the means. Make sure it is clear and concise. After this start reading it to yourself everyday and night with a strong belief and I can guarantee you that all the people, means and help needed will start to appear.

I m Prema..have met you once at Mall Gallery, when u were on a portrait painting session.
I am an upcoming artist, and I paint in oil and acrylic.
Would like to show some of my paintings to you and get your feed back.
This will help me improve my skills.
Some of my paintings are at my facebook page.. http://www.facebook.com/netraspalette
Will be happy if you can spare sometime to have a look.
Can you please give me a time to catch up..at your studio..?
Dear Adebanji,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently just launching the 2019 Ruth Borchard Self Portrait Prize.
I have just posted your 2015 portrait to instagram – a great work of art and I really hope to see another entry from you in 2019.
I would also love your assistance to promote the prize within your channels, both as a teacher and at the Royal Institute.
Please get in touch directly so I can send you a copy of the upto date information!
Hi Adebanji
I am in no way an artist – I just caught the end of part if the one show and was stunned by your seaside pier artwork
The swimmers just made me smile so much
I’m businesswoman and am so happ to see something so incredible that is so far from what I could do !
Thank you
Gabrielle
I was wondering what your plans were for the beautiful painting of Clevedon pier which included the Red Headed Lady, that you brought to life on the One Show?
My wife spent a large part of her childhood in Clevedon, with her Grandparents, and it is an incredibly emotive and special place to her, and through her, to me and our two daughters. We have a brass plaque on the Pier in memory to my wife’s Grandparents, and we have sat on that beach, in that spot, with our children over the last 20 years and watched the crazy Sea Swimmers brave the cold!
I don’t have much, but I didn’t know if you would be willing to part with it in exchange for a donation to Children in Need, which as I’m sure you know, The One Show are linked with. I love my wife and girls more than anything, and thought it would be an amazing surprise Valentines gift for the three of them.
I hope to hear from you soon, at your convenience.
I was thrilled you made your show available to international fans. I have been an unabashed fan and follower of your work. Naively, at the beginning, I asked if you sell your paintings. I longed to have one but was unaware of your status. You told me, “never say never”. I adore the one with the people ‘in’ the water. I am 87, tethered to oxygen. I would look at the print and imagine myself there with the swimmers. I must have this print. Will you keep one for me for two months until I save the money? Tell me: how much is that in American dollars,and how do I make payment? Thank you for your consideration.
We met recently when you were filming at Clevedon Pier for the One Show. I am the Business manager for the Pier and wondered if you would consider allowing us to display the prints in our porthole room gallery on the Pier. ( I realise the originals have been sold)
This year is our 150 anniversary, so a special year for us and much to celebrate, we are keen to capture all the interesting and unusual things that have taken place on the Pier and yours is obviously one of them.
I would really appreciate you getting in touch to discuss the possibilities.
Hii sir I am a young artist from india with a lot of madness for potrait painting. I see every single video of yours and every time I get inspired.
In a video u had told that “we need mentors”.. but I have none neither I get much inspirations to draw.
Sir I want to contact u in personal and show u some of my works .
Hi Adebanji,
Just a few years ago you visited my old school, and seeing you on the BBC I always remember listening to you, and whilst I am very uncreative your story has always been able to motivate me and encourage me to do my best. So I just wanted to say thank you very much for such a good day learning about you and I hope I can go on to do great things.
Kind regards
Adam
I just watched ‘The Life of an Artist’ on YouTube and I had to write. You’re inspiring and the energy in your work and the way you talk about working is tangible. I’m going to try and steal some (energy)

Hi Marc, Awwwh thats deep. I have sold the piece. I do have prints available though, if you are interested.
I was thrilled you made your show available to international fans. I have been an unabashed fan and follower of your work. Naively, at the beginning, I asked if you sell your paintings. I longed to have one but was unaware of your status. You told me, “never say never”. I adore the one with the people ‘in’ the water. I am 87, tethered to oxygen.

Thanks Marian,
Yes I’ll save one for you. I’ll email you with the details. Cheers! Thanks for liking my stuff!!
