"Fred" by Stephen B Whatley Sells for Cancer Charity. 2013
"Fred" - expressionist artist Stephen B Whatley's tribute to Mr Flintstone - smiles from the wall of Blackall Studios, London early last night as the gallery began filling up for the Joss Searchlight Charity Art Auction...."Fred" was one of 20 works selected for the live auction later that night ( with additional 100 works up for silent bids) by Christies auctioneer Tom Best - in the grey overcoat & daffodil - who was a real star & gentleman, giving a great rousing performance . After a flurry of bids Fred sold for £1000 ($1500)- all to this great charity, that helps dreams come true for children with brain cancer. As Fred Flintstone would cheer, "Yabba Dabba Doo!"
