Britain’s No. 1 Art Forger

“A picturesque journey! Even the Kray twins commissioned Max for a portrait of their mother!” – Shaun Attwood, true crime YouTuber and Author

‘Max the Forger’ is an artist and gentleman whose vibrant way of life has spanned over seventy years. He has lived below the strict regime of Barnardo’s kids’s properties, been an elephant handler within the circus, lived tough, busked his manner from Brighton to Bombay, bought his fakes up and down the nation, dined with dukes, socialised with celebrities, related to gangsters, served time in jail, and donated tens of hundreds to charity. And by way of all of it, he by no means stopped smiling, and loving life – and lacking his mum.

“Mister Brandrett, I do not see you as a malicious criminal,” sighed the choose, “but why-oh-why do you continue to use your God-given talent in this way?”

“I just can’t help myself, Your Honour. It’s like an addiction,” I grinned.
