His new show, Sketch Comic – to be held at the National Galleries of Scotland – highlights his deep love of art.

Jupitus,pictured holding his iPad artwork shetch of Cenus Anadyomene which was painted around 1520, will let loose on the collections at the gallery. The comic will sketch some of his favourite works and encourage visitors to join in and share their own sketches.
