King Of England by Doug Hyde

A fantastic new release to coincide with the Football World Cup 2014, a traditional Doug Hyde image featuring his lovable character and just their upper body, decked out in a...

...Union Jack T-shirt.

I wonder if you knew that the current England manager Roy Hodgson and his wife are big Doug Hyde fans and collectors of his work?

Doug has met them previously at some of his gallery appearances and they kept in touch.

When Roy was appointed England manager in May 2012 Doug Hyde remembered this, painted the original and presented it as a gift it to Roy & Sheila Hodgson.

Now in June 2014 Doug believes this is the ideal artwork to release as his latest limited edition.

Oh, a couple of things to bear in mind with this new item: it is strictly limited to a maximum of 995 copies but they are only going to be orderable until Sunday 13th July, the last day...

...of the World Cup, so galleries have a 1 month window for their customs to order them.

...Now remind me, who will England be facing that day?

Celebrate the start of England's Football World Cup 2014 campaign with this brand new release by Doug Hyde: 'King Of England.'

Naturally this print reminds us of our great country and the sense of national pride we all share.

Doug actually painted the original to this in 2012 and presented it to his friends Roy & Sheila Hodgson, as congratulations for Roy being appointed the new England football manager.

This is a fresh and classic looking Doug Hyde, epitomising everything we love about the artist's work and outlook on life.

Doug intends this to be a happy and uplifting image, in celebration of the beautiful game's World Cup and our national hope for winning.

A beautiful and eye catching new release, galleries can only order this piece during the duration of the 2014 World Cup, so early ordering is advised!

Many customers have bought this because it reminded them of another limited edition by Hyde 'Best Of British,' which is some years old now and was available on paper and on canvas - long since sold out from the publisher.

Own this commemorative edition for the World Cup, before it sells out!
