At a recent event, Brad Blaze painted live on stage the 25th Prime Minister of Australia, Mr John Howard. Lauded by George W Bush as Australia’s “man of steel”, Mr Howard is Australia’s second longest serving Prime Minister.
When Brad asked the former PM whether he was happy with the painting, Mr Howard responded “You should have been my campaign manager!” which brought laughter from the audience.
Brad spent further time with the former PM at the airport where they discussed their mutual love of cricket (Mr Howard sits on the board of the Bradman foundation).
