Members Art Sales For Charity Thread, by brycepen on Sept 1, 2017 3:38:15 GMT 1, Hi Everyone,

I have never done anything like this before, so please forgive me if I fail to adhere to any established protocols. I attended university in the U.S. and during that time, I became acquainted with the founder of a very worthy charity called SurvJustice. Laura Dunn, the founder and leader of the organization, is a lovely woman and also a sexual assault survivor. She has dedicated her life to selflessly advocating on behalf of other young victims of assault. Today is her birthday and she asked all her friends to make a small donation to her charity in lieu of personal gifts.

I decided I'd try to take it a step further and help ellicit more donations from others.

I am offering the following:
1) a custom commission for an acrylic painting on canvas (by me) which will be shipped worldwide free of charge to the UAA member who PM's me with the largest donation offer.

Dimensions will depend on the subject matter, but 50.8cm x 40.6cm (16"x20") will be the max.

2) A custom christmas card I received from Stanley Donwood, signed and featuring one of his drawings on the face of the card which I will raffle off to any member who makes a donation in any amount.

I still haven't decided how long I will be accepting entries for both prizes, but it will be no later than September 30th.

Please make donations through the paypal link provided and send a screenshot of the completed transaction to me.

As an aside, I typically charge $300-$500 for a commissioned work like this. All my paintings are done on gallery grade canvas using lightfast, artist quality paints. I will also guarantee that you will be satisfied with the painting and I will not ship it until you have approved the final work.
