American actor Johnny Depp on Thursday sold about 3 million pounds (more than 3.5 million dollars) a set of computer graphics representing a number of Hollywood and rock stars.
On Thursday, Depp wrote on his Instagram page that Castle Fine Art, which operates a network of British galleries, has offered his drawings for sale online.
Castle Fine Art stated that the set of cartoons, titled “Friends and Heroes”, is a testimony “about the people Depp knew well, and those who inspired him in his work as well.”
“My drawings are very present in my life, but I kept them to myself and tied myself, no one is supposed to limit themselves,” Depp was quoted by Castle Fine Art as saying.
Among those drawn by Depp are American singer Bob Dylan, British American actress Elizabeth Taylor, American actor Al Pacino and British singer Keith Richards.
Castle Fine Art indicated that requests for the purchase of Deep’s drawings were flooded on its website, which displays 780 works for sale, and each drawing sold for about $4,800, while the price of four drawings within one frame amounted to about $18,200.
In June, Depp won a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, 36, and obtained a ruling obligating the actress, who appealed the ruling, to pay him $10 million in damages.
