Ex-England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has created an artwork with a difference by hitting 5,000 cricket balls at a canvas to create a 16 x 5 metre painting promoting Chevrolet's new rule-changing car the Chevrolet Cruze.
Vaughan, who turned to contemporary art after retiring form international cricket, has been described as a cross between Jason Pollack and Damien Hirst and counts Piers Morgan and Lily Allen as celeb fans. His work can fetch as much as £25,000 at auction.
