Neil Buchanan- Hope Street

"Come and enjoy the ride of your life with Neil Buchanan’s HOPE STREET art collection", this quote is splashed across the home page of Buchanan's website, along with a countdown until his live appearance at the gallery to coincide with its launch. Hope street is to be a series of limited edition prints by the artist. Unfortunately the project is doomed from the off as the two words which are a kindled to his rise to fame are mentioned 4 times on the small homepage alone, those being Art Attack. 

Art attack was in itself a fantastic idea that became very successful during its 15 years on tv; however, i don't feel that it is the correct image for Buchanan to be taking, perhaps something a little more mature might be more appropriate with only a passing mention of his success with the show. 

The story behind Art Attack is quite interesting actually becuase it was Buchanan's idea to create the show, he just had to sell it to ITV. Before that he had been working as a illustrator on a Saturday morning show called No.73. on the sale of the rights of Art Attack to Disney he made £14million.
