The charge was later dropped and in total, he spent only a few hours in jail.

About: “When I think of The Queen, I always think of the Crown Jewels which are one of the most iconic symbols of royalty. This portrait of a young Queen from the early part of her reign in the 1950’s references the Crown Jewels and depicts her face staring out from the facets of a large square diamond. As the title implies, she is the focal point of the monarchy and the most valuable, important and admired member of the royal family, which she has earned through decades of service to the country. The print is executed on brushed aluminium with a high gloss finish, which is in keeping with the subject matter and gives a reflective appearance, just like a real jewel.” (Louis Sidoli)

Neon Art
About:This neon artwork captures a pivotal moment in Elvis Presley’s life — his 1960 de-mob mugshot, taken just as he prepared to leave the army and step into a new chapter of fame. In this striking piece, the King confidently holds a glowing neon sign that playfully references his breakthrough hit “Heartbreak Hotel” — the song that launched him into rock ‘n’ roll legend in 1956.
Yet beneath the rebellious swagger lies a deeper spiritual undercurrent. The neon sign reading “Sorry, No Vacancy” becomes a modern parable: Even the biggest star in the world can find no room at the inn. Elvis stands at the threshold of leaving the army behind and stepping into superstardom. In the bright lights of fame, he’s both the ultimate star and a man who still feels the loneliness that often comes with it.
Made with signature aluminium and glowing neon, the piece turns a simple mugshot into something powerful and timeless. It quietly reminds us how quickly worldly success can come and go, and how even the biggest stars long for something deeper and more lasting.
Details: Traditional hand crafted clear glass vacuum tubes containing argon and neon gas. Mounted on mixed media brushed aluminium with a flawless high gloss finish.
Framed Size: 101cm x 101cm
