Johnny Depp, the renowned actor, has been showcasing his artistic talent through his latest collection, "Friends and Heroes". The collection features limited edition prints of the late stars Bob Marley, Hunter S. Thompson, Heath Ledger, and River Phoenix.

The prints went on sale last Monday at the Castle Fine Art Gallery in London's Covent Garden, and the gallery announced that they almost sold out within five days.

A Portrayal of Intimate Reflections

Each portrait in the collection is a personal reflection of the character of the individual in Depp's eyes.

The brochure describes the portraits as "an intimate reflection of their character in Johnny's eyes; a portrayal of how they have revealed themselves to him, either personally or via their art." Depp himself stated, "I've always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who matter most to me, like my family, friends, and people I admire."

A Sold-Out Success

The individual portraits were priced at around $4,523.02 each, and all were sold out within five days.

The only remaining item in the collection was a framed set of all four portraits, which was available for about $17,547. Depp expressed his desire to see the four individuals together in a room and said, "All friends, all heroes...They said a lot in their short lives."

The First Exhibition in the UK

This is the second exhibition in Depp's "Friends and Heroes" collection to go on sale in the UK.

The first exhibition, which featured legends Bob Dylan, Keith Richards, Elizabeth Taylor, and Al Pacino, also sold out within hours last July. Johnny Depp's career as an artist has proven to be lucrative, with his recent sale of a painting for five million euros and the rapid sell-out of his "Friends and Heroes" collection.

The collection is a tribute to the late stars, who left their mark on the world with their unique individuality, emotions, and senses of humor. Depp's portraits are a personal reflection of their characters and a testament to the impact they had on him.
