Tank Art. The Mick Graham Story
Well, folks, finally it's on my website. The story of how I ended up where I am today! It's a fascinating story: of how I got good at colouring in and my rapid rise to being a recognised Military Artist. It wasn't planned; it just happened.
Mick Graham doesn’t paint pretty pictures; he resurrects the soul of the tank. A veteran of the 4th Royal Tank Regiment, Mick’s journey took him from the gunner's seat to Gunnery Instructor during the Cold War, mastering the machines he now brings to life. He didn’t learn the lines of a tank from a book; he learned them through the sights and optics, in the mud of Soltau, and in the bone-shaking platform rock of the Hohne tank ranges.
Amberley Publishing; This book reveals how Mick traded the 120mm gun for the finest of paint brushes, documenting a humble journey from regimental life to becoming one of the UK’s acclaimed artists. His work is a visceral tribute to the Royal Armoured Corps, capturing the brutal, predatory silhouette of the Chieftain and the legends of WW11 with a technical precision that honours every veteran who crewed them. Celebrated by the Tank Museum and immortalised on Royal Mail Stamps, Mick’s art is a leading voice in British heritage. Held in collections worldwide, it stands as a high-octane salute to heavy metal and the Cold War tank regiments that once called the tanks home.
