Johnny Depp's good friend Bob Dylan is also a huge inspiration for the artist who pays tribute to him as giant of contemporary culture here. He also said: "Let’s salute the reluctant prophet Bob Dylan and the dream of change he inspired then, now and onwards…… His impact is that of Shakespeare, Marlowe, Marlon Brando, Woody Guthrie, William Blake, Picasso, Bach and Mozart.”
The immense admiration and incredible friendship shared is felt here in this striking limited edition artwork where the artist has chosen to reference an image that shows Bob Dylan in his prime. He’s handsome and heroic, at the height of his powers, but he also has his head bowed, with his eyes and ears open to the issues of humanity. It is this heartfelt portrayal of a cultural icon that characterises Johnny Depp's collection Friends & Heroes.
Johnny’s debut collection Friends & Heroes sees him focus on people he has known well, and who have inspired him as a person. Each image is an intimate reflection of their character in Johnny's eyes; a portrayal of how they have revealed themselves to him. Working from photographic references, each image has been stripped back to a simpler and iconic portrayal of the subject, which Johnny has then developed and energised with his characteristic freehand flourishes. You can view the full portfolio of portraits here or learn more about the artist on our blog.
In addition to being hand-signed by the artist, this limited edition artwork is embossed with Johnny Depp's iconic Bunnyman logo. Bunnyman was inspired by Johnny’s son Jack who, when he was five years old, woke from an apparent nightmare featuring the character, but was comforted by his father’s explanation. His explanation described Bunnyman as a friendly warrior between the doorway of reality and imagination. Johnny later realised the iconic figure on a large canvas and it has since come to symbolise both him and his work. Bunnyman is now being registered as a global trademark and along with Johnny’s initials, it represents an additional guarantee of authenticity beyond his handwritten signature.

For Johnny Depp, there has always been art. Before acting, and before music, art has always been an important outlet for his creativity. With his sketchbook as a permanent fixture in his hand, Depp is constantly sketching or visually conceptualising the world around him. His mind rejects the ordinary, challenges the accepted and oscillates between the pictorial and the lyrical, giving rise to his own multi-layered expressionistic style.
Depp has produced four collections for Castle Fine Art; two of his Friends & Heroes series featuring iconic artists he knew well, including Bob Dylan, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Marley and River Phoenix, followed by his self-portrait Five, a time-limited edition piece which was available to collectors for only 13 days. His latest release is Bunnyman Genesis, four pieces which represent Depp’s personal motif of The Bunnyman.
In 1995, we opened our first-ever gallery in Stratford-upon-Avon. With just one goal in mind - to make our art accessible to all - our fledgling company began to spread its roots.
Every piece of art is mounted, glazed or framed by hand, with our bespoke framing service selected by our creative department.
Our foundations are built on a passion for art, and many of our staff (and collectors!) have been with us from the very beginning.
