STAMP EB 23Jungle celebrity refugee Katie Price is the latest subject of Hednesford stamp artist Pete Mason.

Retired art teacher Pete, aged 65, of Green Heath Road has created a new work based on a famous pop art work by Roy Lichtenstein starring the glamour model and her spurned partner Peter Andre.

It took him about two weeks to finish the 4ft by 3ft picture that is made up of 3,500 used stamps.

“Lichtenstein is my favourite artist and Brad is one of his most famous paintings and includes a girl with a thought bubble coming from her head.

“I through it would be interesting to picture Katie Price in that style and include Peter Andre as well following their split.

“I see her as a bit of a drama queen and an ideal subject for a pop art painting. I have not put anything in the thought bubble. People can make up their own mind what she is thinking.

“I hope that Katie may get to see it one day and decide for herself what should go in the bubble,” said Pete.

His past subjects have included Tony Blair, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Alan Sugar, Princess Diana, Madonna and David Beckham.
