A tattoo artist from Essex is the subject of a 9ft by 7ft portrait being unveiled at the National Portrait Gallery today.

Zoe Windle, 35, was painted in her bra by celebrated realist artist Jason Brooks, whose paintings are so lifelike that they resemble photographs.

Her image will hang alongside two more large Brooks works - a portrait of Nobel prize-winning scientist Sir Paul Nurse, commissioned by the gallery, and another of Formula 1 driver Jenson Button.

  • (at sephig) yea scary and she mentions in the article that she actually was in her late 20s when she was painted... I guess thats what vices & no sunscreens sans make up will do to your face.

  • Some of these responses prove that while there may be shortages of various commodities on this planet there is certainly no need to fear for our philistine stockholdings.

    Jason Brooks is an outstanding artist and his canvasses are breathtaking.

    Go out of the house, breathe some air, visit a gallery. There is stuff beyond your sphere that can amaze you!
