Re: Non-Project Work
During the mid Seventies Robert would, from time to time during the summer, open the front door of his street level studio/room to the public. He would do portaits in pencil for £2.50. There was about enough space for a sitter and himself with the door open. The sketches took about 20-25 mins.

I have also had a portrait done when I was 5 years old (back in 1974) which has been sitting in my basement for the last 35 years..... wondering actually if its worth anything!
Re: Non-Project Work
In this exterior view of the artist's studio on The Barbican, taken in 1979 by Dr Philip Stokes, we see a sign advertising drawings of "people and pets" for a fee of £3. The left-most poster in the window states "Portraits, Oil on canvas: technically accomplished, all commissions accepted ... (rest illegible)." The fee appears to be £70. The second poster is advertising the Self-Portrait Project exhibition, then current. Eliza is seen, right.

Re: Non-Project Work
I have a lovely drawing of the faces of my 3 young sons, drawn by Robert, in Plymouth, in 1973. He was eating a green apple at the time & only took a very small amount for the drawing. I have always treasured the picture.
