Net Worth - This striking, stylised portrait depicts a rugged fisherman, his wild beard and piercing eyes hinting at a life spent battling the elements. Deep lines etched into his face tell a story of endurance and connection to the sea.

He wears a traditional knitted gansey—once common among North East fishing communities—and is flanked by two small fishing vessels, like those that still set out daily from The Gut in North Shields.

These boats brave the North Sea in search of their catch, returning to the quayside to sell their haul at the local fish market—an enduring rhythm of life shaped by weather, water, and work.

Prefab77 is a North Shields–raised artist whose influences span England, California, and New York. After early training in printmaking and design with the British Army, he moved into fashion and branding in New York — a period that sparked his fascination with portraiture and the female form. He works in mixed media, using spray paint, stencils, screen printing, and hand-finished touches across both small and large formats. His recent monochrome murals have drawn significant attention for their striking visual impact.
