Alison Brackenbury, Vaseem Khan and Testament reveal their finished artworks for the Inspire season

Poet Alison Brackenbury, novelist Vaseem Khan and rapper and beatboxer Testament reveal their finished artworks for Front Row's Inspire season.

As Front Row's Inspire season draws to a close, three artists unveil the artworks they were commissioned to create, and discuss the inspiration behind them.

Alison Brackenbury has written a poem based on her Great-Uncle; crime-writer Vaseem Khan, author of the Baby Ganesh Detective Agency novels, reads the first page of his new volume; and rapper and beatboxer Testament performs his new composition.

And for the Front Row presenters' challenge, Stig Abell has written his first sonnet, Samira Ahmed has been taught to draw a comic-book character, and John Wilson has painted his first watercolour. Tonight it's Kirsty Lang's turn at the potter's wheel.
