An artist has paid homage to Charlie Bird's life through a new art project supporting mental health awareness.
Niall O'Loughlin is an established caricaturist who excels at drawing famous faces. His Charlie Bird creation forms part of the 'Elephant in the Room' initiative, founded by former rugby player Brent Pope.
The project, which promotes mental health awareness through art, involves artists showcasing their work on elephant canvases. Charlie became involved with the initiative through his work with the Samaritans and the broadcaster agreed to let Niall paint out his life story.
