 Joe Lycett has proven himself to be somewhat of a Picasso in the making in the past, and now his artwork is up for sale at a whopping price. The comedian, 35, frequently shares his paintings on social media, having illustrated the likes of Liz Truss, King Charles, and even Gail Platt. But now things have gone to a whole new level, as his painting of Gary Lineker can be bought for… £1,354,999. Oh, and you need to leave a £406,499.70 deposit. The painting has made the Royal Academy's famed Summer Exhibition. Titled I Drink A Crisp, Cold Beer In A Pool In Los Angeles While Gary Lineker Looks On In Disgust, the artwork is going on display at the prestigious London gallery next week. The comedian has become known for his paintings and comical artwork (Picture: PA) I Drink A Crisp, Cold Beer In A Pool In Los Angeles While Gary Lineker Looks On In Disgust is up for sale at over £1.3million (Picture: Instagram) It's a self-portrait, depicting Joe, as the name suggests, in the swimming pool, beer in hand and shades on, as sports pundit Gary, 62, lounges at the side with a very unimpressed expression. Coincidentally, the painting's £1.3million price tag is not only the number of Instagram followers Joe currently has, but it's also Gary's salary, as he's been the highest-paid BBC star for six years running. So, if the former footie star fancies some expensive new home decor, he needn't look very far… Announcing his news on Instagram, Joe wrote earlier this month that he was 'delighted' to have his painting selected for the exhibition. 'It's my first painting to make it and only the second time I've been included (the first time was my infamous sculpture CHRIS)', he said, referencing his famous 2018 clay bust. Look at that price tag! (Picture: Instagram) Joe was proud as punch as he saw his work on display (Picture: Instagram) He said the exhibition is 'one of [his] favo){kind=link}
