How much are those doggies on the coastline? Six million pounds. Harvey Adendrum has created a chain of dogs encircling the British Isles.

Inspired by traditional Bible tales, Adendrum seeks to create modern-day myths, with a view to being misperceived as the second coming of Christ. The artist’s back-catalogue of headline-swiping work is so populist that just looking at it makes you feel like someone clever is like spooning jelly into your brain. Perhaps that’s why the government has pledged to buy everyone a piece of Adendrum.

Jamie Fruck, 11, from Liverpool says: "I was really happy and pleased when I got my Harvey Adendrum artwork. The piece I got was a video showing when Harvey filled Loch Lomond in Scotland with cornflour. The water went all sticky and then Harvey walked across it. It is funny and I like it."

Lisa Jibble from Rotherham was slightly disappointed with her work: "I had requested something along the lines of the ‘cress-dinghy’ piece, where Harvey filled four thousand dinghies with cress, tied them together and sent them out to sea to create a cress-island. Instead I just got 'A Punch In The Face, (1999)', which is apparently one of his most sought-after pieces. I'm thinking of contacting a dealer about it and perhaps trading it in for something less painful".
