Our Todd White Book Signing Event 25th September 2010
A few months ago Chalfont Art and Framing were delighted to be asked to play host to acclaimed Hollywood Artist Todd White, who wished to attend the gallery to meet with fans and personally sign his first book,The Art of Todd White. On 25th September, following an extended period of preparation for such an exclusive event, Todd visited the Gallery and wowed our customers with his amiable, witty and fun filled manner. As can be seen from these photographs by local photographer Peter Mukherjee, Todd's work appeals to people of all ages and the smile on everyone's face really does tell the story of what was a wonderful day.
While here, our customers purchased signed copies of Todd's book as well as many highly collectable limited edition prints and a magnificent Todd White Original and Sculpture. Also available to view and purchase on the day were limited edition box-sets of Todd's Coca-Cola collaboration. Click here to find out more about these.
Prior to leaving us Todd commented on how much he enjoyed meeting our customers and in turn we all found Todd extremely charming and like so much of his work, tremendous fun.
