Serjent in Postcard exhibition 1/12/2009

Along with over sixty other visual artists, including Rolf Harris!, I am exhibiting at the 'Pre-paid 2009' exhibition, taking place at the Cornerstone Gallery, based in the Liverpool Hope University campus in Everton.
Following the success of last year's event they are staging another exhibition and blind auction of small donated artworks on postcard by artists from Liverpool and beyond. Once again the proceeds will be donated to The Artists' Benevolent Institution.
The works can be viewed at www.hope.ac.uk/cornerstonegallery/postcards2009 until 4pm on Wednesday 9 December.
On that date the gallery opens with refreshments and a blind auction, hosted by Paul O'Keefe, starting at 6-30pm, which will provide visitors the opportunity for them to bid for those works they are interested in.
Can you work out which is my image?
