Sun City News cartoonist Paul Dorin, also artist to celebrity jeans has just completed painting his 20th pair of jeans for the Children’ s Medical Research Institute also celebrating their 20th year anniversary of fundraising for Children’ s Medical Research Institute.
This year, Paul has painting the jeans of world champion swimmer Geoff Huegill. He spent about 20 hours over a week creating the artwork on the two legged denim canvas.
Geoff Huegill is a champion butterfly swimmer, so water and butterflies were the theme- On one of the legs, Paul has Geoff up on the swimming blocks about to race a butterfly and on another part of the denim canvas Geoff is swimming and being coached by a large shark.
Some of the other national and international celebrity jeans Paul has splashed paint on over 18 years has been Robin
Williams, Ricky Ponting, David Hasselhoff, Craig Lowndes, James Belushi, Jeff Fenech and Kevin Klein.
Paul’ s all-time favourite pair of jeans are the jeans of Rolf Harris. Paul grew up being inspired by his amazing artistic abilities.
