Dan Robbins the artist who created painting by numbers has died aged 93.

From the painting by numbers museum: His work has been displayed on more walls than that of any other artist. This was true in the past, is still true today and is most likely a record that will stand in the future.

Americans in the 1950s had the time and money to take up new hobbies and Max Klein, President of the Palmer Paint Company in Detroit was looking for an idea that could make anyone an artist and thereby expand the demand for paint. Dan Robbins, making a living creating washable paint sets for kids , was interested in the challenge.
After months of trial and error Dan remembered how Leonardo da Vinci would hand out numbered patterns to his apprentices and thought, “Why not do the same for anyone who wants to paint but does not have the talent to draw or mix colors? All I have to do is create a numbered outline and provide the corresponding numbered colors.” He tried to explain the idea to Max but it was obvious that Max wasn’t getting it. Finally, Max threw up his hands saying, “ Don’t tell me. Show me. You’re the artist.

Leonardo da Vinci’s, neat trick might not have groomed a generation of geniuses in the Renaissance, but in Robbins' hands, the paint-by-numbers concept won over a generation of American hobbyists and as his fan letters continue to attest, he inspired legions of new artists. He also made painting and displaying art more democratic than anyone could have imagined.

As a kid I loved painting by numbers. RIP Dan.

Liverpool v Spurs

the Anfield tunnel, the two teams line up

Smith lines up opposite Greaves and hands him a list

Greaves "What's this then?"

Smith "Its the menu for the Liverpool Royal Infirmary, you'll need it"

The 70s saw Kendall return to the public eye with his now infamous 3 way relationship with Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren. Kendall said to be the inspiration of McLaren's now developing ruthless personality. Westwood is also adamant to this day that Kendall was the true inspiration behind "Sex" and "Too fast to live Too young to die". In this period Kendall touched many of the greats who went onto shape the world, and his influence can be seen in all walks of life – From the Sex Pistols to Paul Raymond's revue bars whom he was quality control manager for many years.
