Hi guys, Boris here again! Well I finally finished this epic journey of painting, some would say of the greatest police car eve. The iconic and a really powerful set of wheels, the P6 Rover 3500s V8. This digital painting has taken me around 10-12 hours over four days to complete. I have added the usual accessories, metal first aid kit, the indispensable Road Craft for Police Drivers manual, leather bound log book, Met Flat Cap, old Warrant Card, Greater London Road Atlas, epaulettes with the bigger Division and numbers, (which can be personalised), a roll of Police Tape and the often cuff rolled up leather driving gloves. This artwork is now available from my web at www.jans-art.co.uk as either a mounted or a frame print in two sizes, 12” x 10” and 20” x 16” and the epaulettes can be personalised. #byboris #borispoliceart #metpoliceuk #p6rover3500v8 #digitalart (at Jan's Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkrNv3Brmgb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi guys! Boris here again, well I finished the Honda ST1100 Pan European and also sketched a BMW System 7 Helmet which I later learned was the correct era helmet for this Met Bike and not the older open faced helmet I initially plonked on the bike, I’ll save that helmet for the R80 drawing I am planning to do. Thanks for watching. #byboris #borispoliceart #metpoliceuk #hondast1100paneuropean #bmwsystem7helmet #digitalart (at Jan's Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeorDhRLYdd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Boris here again, no more cowboy guns, or Met headwear, just a straight forward By Boris request, still loads to do and needs colours added, but I now have all the elements in place to begin doing some serious colouring this weekend. Love recreating Met furniture and office themes from my cluttered memories!Watch this space… #byboris #borispoliceart #metpoliceuk (at Jan's Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdgSSxrMp-n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi Boris here, that happy accident, who once upon a time was the Senior police artist in SO11 back in the day when we had enough buildings for every Dept, here again. Firstly I like to say a huge heartfelt big Geordie thank you to all those retired and still serving officers who have taken valuable time out from their daily lives to send me just awesome reference photos (I now have enough photos of hats, weapons and associated accoutrements to be the reason for stalling any future convoy that Putin may decide to start on our mainland shores). The Last illustration featuring the RaSP Patch, Flat Cap, Glock 17 and Foam Nerf bullets was one of the many humorous By Boris anecdotes I sometimes like drawing, no offence intended, honest! So to rectify this I have now replaced foam bullets with real shells (those funny looking ones that look like the ends were hit with a hammer) and added two new patches to my Police collection SO6, SO16 and RaSP). For all you older retired gentlemen from the DPG and other Mercenary for hire units out there, who keep asking me, yes, (I’m an artist and not really a gun person) but I will draw that Cowboy gun you used carry, (the Smith & Western thingy complete with silver Vampire killing shells), in fact I’m starting it we speak. You can find all my police doodles scribblings and hilarious art on my web at www.jans-art.co.uk Watch this space and as always stay safe. #byboris #borispoliceart #metpoliceuk #SO6 #SO16 #RaSP #metpatches #glock17 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdIdxJVMkzq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi Boris here, that happy accident that was the Senior Met Police Artist in SO11 back in the day, I thought that as Her Majesty has certain celebrations pending, I decided to join in the party mood and decided to sketch those unsung heroes whose purpose is to stand as pillars of impenetrable shields between her Majesty and her squabbling offsprings and attached retinue, what I knew as SO14 and who now, the reason for which escapes me, are named after an old carpenters tool, this is my take on the RaSP. I was going to have some ammo lying down in the foreground, but knowing nothing of guns and shells unless you count that foray during the Miners Picnic Hoppings in 1975, where I won a goldfish on the air rifle range (sadly “Goldie” has since, many year ago, took his last dive down our porcelain throne, I really loved him too). Sorry I digress, old age does this to you, I did not know what type of shells, or calibre size or gunpowder this particular firearm uses (I have been reliably been informed is a Glock 17 made in Austria apparently) so being only an artist with limited knowledge beyond my pay grade, I improvised… Thank you for watching the meanderings of a retired artistic sole. #byboris #borispoliceart #metpoliceuk #digitalart ##so14 #rasp (at Jan's Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGrgg2L9jw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi folks, Boris here again, my kids went for a walk today to see some local horses in a nearby field to us and it got me thinking, I hadn’t sketched any headwear of our men and woman on horseback, so today I decided to rectify this gross error and give these knights on horseback some recognition. So here is my sketch of a Met Mounted Branch Helmet. Thank you for watching. #byboris #borispoliceart #metpoliceuk #mountedbranchhelmet #digitalart (at Jan's Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCB6SYs4I3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hi guys, Boris that happy accident that was the Senior Police artist in SO11 here again. Well I finally finished my epic NPAS helmet (or as I knew as i99). It was great fun to do, love getting my teeth into detail and boy does this helmet have that in droves! I think I may be ready to tackle the CTSFO Balistic Helmet now not so shiny!
