The image of Caerphilly-born comic Tommy Cooper has been recreated in toast and Marmite by Natahn Wyburn.

The Ebbw Vale artist recently spent an evening at Y Galeri in Caerphilly town to work on the piece of art.

Nathan made his name last year when he appeared on TV’s Britain’s Got Talent and created a Marmite masterpiece of comedian and judge Michael McIntyre.

Nathan, since his appearance on the talent show, has created celebrity portraits of Simon Cowell, Lord Alan Sugar and Olympians including Tom Daley.

The portrait of Tommy Cooper is currently on display at Y Galeri on St Fagan’s Street.
