Screen print on card with abstract background.

These screen prints are from a series I have made exploring the nature of luck.

They feature my Father on his 18th birthday when he received a brand new bicycle 2nd of December 1938.
And a picture of him in uniform in Athens Greece on the V.E. day May 8, 1945.

The headline on the newspaper reads “YOU LUCKY PEOPLE”
This was a catch phrase of the popular comedian Tommy Trinder

The paper is called the Union Jack, this was the forces newspaper during the war years.

The image reflects 2 periods of Luck.
lucky to get a new bike for his birthday.
Lucky to get through the war without being killed.

His birthday luck ran out later that day when the bike was stolen In Liverpool.
