Here’s what clients and people around the world are saying about me and my work:
“Brian is a bit like the Dante Gabriel Rossettti, or Ruskin or Duchamp who frankly – does a bit of everything. But importantly, Brian’s work is all based around the integrity of the idea, rather than the specific medium. Rather than having Hemingway, de Beauvoir, Stein, Gris and Joyce sitting in Les Deux Magots, Brian is doing it online.”
– Helen Hammond
“The man sitting in front of me was more interesting than anything said by the panel. He was quietly and with amazing skill constructing a cartoon of the panel even as they spoke. His name’s Brian John Spencer and if you google him you’ll find out more about him and his talents. Speed and accuracy: there’s not much of it about.”
– Jude Collins
“The Original, the Notorious, the Only @brianjohnspencr. Northern Ireland’s fastest rising political cartoonist. With dramatic increases in private sales, prediction of London art market demand.”
– Paul Evans, director Canvas Galleries
“My favourite photo/representation of me ever.”
– Niall Donnelly (slam poet) on Live Drawing
“Even at a distance [Brian’s] style was unmistakeable.”
– Ian Knox, Irish political cartoonist
“Brian’s work featured in Chris Buckler’s report was superb! Terrific likeness too.”
– Mark Lappin, executive producer and newsman
“Jeez, I admire multi-tasking, but does Brian really have to make the rest of us look so f*cking lazy?”
– Willis McBriar
“I don’t often advise following anyone but Brian John Spencer is a funny, talented, lateral thinking, social tweeter.”
– Stephen Clements, radio DJ, Q Radio
“What a talent Brian is.”
– Liam Beckett
“Brian you are such an asset to any conference. Really clever how you visually depict key messages from speakers.”
– Mark Taylor
“My name is Tim, you did a water colour of me at McSorley’s last night. One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten. Wish we could have talked more. Are you only visiting NYC from Belfast? If you’re only visiting, next time the beers are on me. Again, I appreciate the kind gesture. I think I’ve told 100 people about it already.”
– Tim Hansell
“One of my favourite details of the wedding was having the super talented Brian John Spencer painting portraits for guests throughout the weekend. Forever keepsakes for sure”
“When we were organizing our wedding we were looking for a fun surprise that would elevate the evening for our guests. Brian delivered just that kind of element. All our guests were raving about his artwork. There was constant demand for his drawings. With so many guests traveling to our New York wedding from out of town, Brian’s portraits provided a souvenir they’ll not soon forget. Brian was also a gem to work with. Professional, personable and constantly smiling, his positive attitude made the experience fun for everyone. Brian went above and beyond. We can’t recommend him enough. We didn’t waste a minute in framing our portrait and hanging it above the fireplace.”
