The final commission for the Goya inspired wine labels has now been marketed by the Prisoner Wine Company in California.
![]() Mike has been commissioned by brand and packaging agent Co-Partnership to create etchings for the Prisoner Wine Company based on Goya's 'Little Prisoner' used on their iconic Red Blend label (centre bottle). The commission came about through seeing his art on instagram which had visual connections with the original. Mike's remit has been to continue this theme through a series of etchings which reflect Goya's original technique and vision, as though the same prisoner has been depicted in different aspects of struggle and hope throughout the series. Mike has a solo show at the Cliffe Castle Museum until September 26th 2021. It includes 38 powerful etchings and drawings made over a two year residential where he regularly visited the museum and drew and etched directly from the exhibits.
