Description: | The picture is based on a incident in the life of the artist, Paul Hill, who lives on Castle Vale estate in Birmingham. The girl arrived at Pauls' house late at night and asked him to escort her up the road as she was scared of the dark. She was covered in gold rings and jewellery. Not thinking of his own safety, Paul walked her up to the top and when they got there she ran off leaving him standing in the dark with two large men hiding in the shadows! Paul legged it past them home, relieved that he had got out of the dispute unhurt and so had she - for that night anyway!
