'The Outsiders and Lazarides are extremely proud to present two brand new fine art prints and an original prestige art book by Jonathan Yeo.

Both the book and the prints initially go on sale exclusively at the exhibition itself at Lazarides Rathbone from tomorrow, Saturday 14th January.Signed editions of the book will be available IN PERSON ONLY on a first-come first-served basis. As if that and witnessing the original paintings in the flesh wasn't enough, all editions purchased from the gallery will be accompanied by a free full-colour show poster also signed by Jonathan Yeo, while stocks last.'
