1. I am SO going to that!
2. Excellent – this corresponds beautifully with our visit to London 😀

   Surzy x
3. Amazing work. Dame Judi is gorgeous! Love the one of your Dad, too. How many lives do you lead, anyway?
4. Hi Derren
   What fantastic portraits, i can’t imagine how difficult it would have been to be so accurate on such a huge scale. Brilliant.
   What medium was used here?
   Fabulous
5. I really liked the one of your dad, It was amazing lol. I can’t paint to save myself. But that’s ok coz i can trace stuff Haha. But these two are equally as awesome.
6. Superb! I’m your biggest fan. (Not in a creepy obsessive way)
7. I really appreciate the step by step photo’s that you have been posting. I learned myself to paint and will always learn, I guess I am very critical of my work but I could study your paintings for ages! Love the detail. I have never tried a painting that size though! Bravo! x
8. Brilliant, I look forward to seeing them.

   See you there?

9. Paintings truly worthy of an art gallery. Good luck Derren, your brownies are very excited about this one 😀 xxx
10. I am in Scotland. The show is in London. This is a problem 🙁
11. Wowza! These are absolutely gorgeous, fantastic, beautiful, incredible, extraordinary, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
12. Aww wow I’d love to go and see your portraits on display, especially as the 5th March is my birthday. Not sure it’s possible for me though. Shall have to imagine just how wonderful they are close up instead.

    The tweets you posted of the in-progress portrait of your Dad were really fascinating. Am so impressed with the way you build up the portrait. Colours, tones, etc. Is fantastic to see it all come together.
    I really could have done with a teacher like you when I took GCSE art at school. I didn’t learn a single thing there, not one. You are a quite superb artist, Derren. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.

    I’m sure you couldn’t have prouder parents.

    Take care

13. Ere Derren, any chance you know any mind tricks that’ll get me painting masterpieces like yours? They’re phenomenal!!
14. Unbelieveable , great man with great talent!

    Keep it up derren!
15. Visiting London that weekend and would so love to see these pictures in the ‘flesh’ They look stunning! Will most definitely do my best to get along to the gallery. Keep up the marvellous work.
16. How captivating are you… magic is not really a thing I understand but this so beautiful. I wish I could paint.
17. out of curiosity, when was that b&w Orson Welles portrait featured on the art site painted?
18. I’m extremely impressed but so unfair that 1 man can be so talented….
19. arent ya gonna do yer bro? 🙁
20. So Mr Brown is this a gallery that anyone can go to or will they keep out the rif raf wearing jeans!? Amazing paintings, but I guess you know that already! When you come to Oxford be sure to venture out of the city as the best pubs and hotels are in the country
21. Really looing forward to the exhibition 😛
22. Derren, I am doing my best to help make your name known in America, at least among my high minded friends. I have your non portrait books, many of your DVDs and am fast becoming intrigued by you artwork as well. Very nice work!
23. erm, guess i should have looked a lil closer and answered my own q, appears to indicate 2002 by the signature. oops.
24. Woohoo! I follow on Twitter and therefore am considered talented and attractive! In your face Mum!

    Love your art. Hate that you cant bottle the talent and sell it.

    I bet it would smell like Parrot. 🙂
25. bah… london is like one whole country away! ever thought about takin them 2 edinburgh? that’s close enough for me, ill travel anywhere… well, in scotland… to see u! or ur paintings! preferably u! probably wont see u so ill settle for the paintings! well, not really!
26. I always loved ur shows, but really didnt know much about you. I have left a comment about my strange dream last nite, but just to say I didnt know u were an artist. I was totally amazed at how gr8 your work is. Gr8 doesnt cut it really its just brilliant, unique, a characature yet a portrait, never seen anything like it , you have yet another fan. Your Judy Dench is well, so Judy Dench, but doesn’t exaggerate her good points its real yet has a cartoon like quality. Have u considered or have you done a Helen Mirren, that would just be amazing as well as they both although totally unalike have the sort of faces that show a lifetime of hardwork and incedibleness. I could look at ur art always and would love them all round my flat!!!
27. Sounds amazing!
    I have two questions…
    Are you going to be there at all on exhibition dates, and how much are tickets to go?
28. WOW Wooooooow! I´d love too see how your parents look like in your eyes. I´m going to London (from Stockholm) next weekend. Is the gallery open? Can’t wait.
29. I’ve been following the lovely pics on twitter of your portrait of your dad. It’s wonderful! So glad it is being included in your latest exhibition 🙂
30. And, Sasha; ” … supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” is a great word!!
31. i didnt know you could paint! these are insane! I love them! exclamation mark! x
32. I presume further details will appear on the Rebbecca Hossack Gallery website.
33. EDIT: http://www.r-h-g.co.uk/exhibitions/view/derren_brown_metamorphosis/177,3344.html
34. I wish I could go to the art gallery but it’s some distance I’m unable to go.
    I wonder if Derren has painted his own portrait? If he has I’d like to buy it
    an original as big size as possible. I’d like to hang it beside John Everett Millais,
    Edward John Poynter, Albert Moore and Leonardo da Vinci.
    Please let me know.

    Best wishes,

    xx

35. Hello! I have never seen anything you have done before but whilst researching into a question for my AS level psychology homework your site came up, your artwork strikes me, it’s very unique and you’ve captured the dimensionality of the subject to precision! Beautifully drawn and painted, both works of art. I am doing AS level art too, and both you’re incomparable talents really interest me. You are incredibly talented and I’ll try my best to read you’re books and take a visit to your exhibition!
36. I’ll be there. Derren, you’re an incredible artist but then you knew that already.
37. This is amazing, i mean really just beautiful! I can’t believe just how life-like and accurate your paintings are! wow just perfect, too bad i can’t make it
38. Can’t wait to see these brilliant paintings ‘in the flesh’.
39. Dear Derren

    So you have done your Mum in as well, and it has only taken you a week,have you ever thought of yourself as a sserial killer? Seriously, your paintings have given them a kind of immortality. Maxine
40. Aaaaah so annoyed! I’m going to London next week and will leave on the 19th! So raging I’ll miss the chance to see it!! =[
41. Hi, just spotted your work on twitter and had to call over to say “nice work!”
    Love the details in your paintings and wonderful character.

    …Ha, I just realised you’re THAT Derren Brown. Too much talent for one person!
42. When I looked your work the other day I was experiencing the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen in my life and certain things like your in your pictures were actual events off what happened in my life that day I swear! Anyway I can’t explain it. Oh yes excellent work derren, maybe this is also annother 1 off your ways off doing the things you do! (Wink wink)
43. Great painting Derren, I was thumbing through a copy of your book at the weekend and they are very impressive!

    Cheers

    Lenny Deverill-West
44. Absolutely awesome.
