Charity Appeal, by pezlow on Feb 28, 2007 15:23:01 GMT 1, Here is the text of an email I am sending out to artists I know/ have bought works from in the past. Anyone who would like to contibute I would be very grateful. For obvious reasons I have removed the address from this but if you PM me I will give you the information. I promise this is all genuine and a very good cause. Thanks for reading.
I am writing to you to ask whether you would be prepared to donate one of your artworks to a charitable event I am organising on 26 April 2007.
The charity it is in aid of is the Oli Bennett Charitable Trust. I am a trustee of the charity. The trust was set up in memory of Oli - an old friend of mine who was murdered when working as a journalist in the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001. He was 29 years of age.
Determined to ensure that something good came out of this terrible event friends and family formed the Trust. It works in a similar way to the princes trust - helping to fund young people, many of whom are from very underprivileged backgrounds, to get a small amount of funding to enable them to get their business off the ground. The trust has already helped many fledgling entrepreneurs to fund purchases for their business and has therefore helped in a small way towards helping to take many away from the poverty trap.
The trust is holding a fundraising event on 26 April 2007 which will include a silent auction and raffle. Any artwork, whether it be a print, doodle or even canvas from you would be hugely appreciated.
If you are able to help please send your contribution to:
(Address removed)
Please let us know the postage costs and we will ensure that these are reimbursed to you.
Many thanks in advance for taking the time to read this. If you would like further information on the trust please visit:
www.olibennett.org.uk/
Kind regards,
Perry Hill

Equally, closer to the time, I will let the forum know which artworks will be auctioned and again, bids would be very welcome.

Good luck - sounds like an excellent cause - shame my 9-11 set isn't finished

Here's the website www.craptastica.com and I've just started making prints that are not up there as of yet.
PM the address if interested.

Charity Appeal, by misteraitch on Mar 4, 2007 20:02:06 GMT 1, Hey Pezlow
The print I am donating for this event is a signed 'What is it good for?', and In an attempt to ensure that some money is made for this worthwhile cause, I have decided that the remaining Signed 'What is it good for?' prints will be pulled from my current catalogue.
This means that alongside the print in my personal collection and the one I am donating, there will only ever be 2 signed prints in existence, the second of which will be the one in the auction.
I hope this helps to raise a few quid

Charity Appeal, by pezlow on Mar 6, 2007 12:28:50 GMT 1, I thought I would give you a quick update on where we are. Firstly, very quick off the mark, we have already received two artworks - from Anita Klein and Stef at hoodacious.co.uk.
As artworks come in I will be assigning lot numbers too them and photographing them. These can be viewed on a flickr site. See:
www.flickr.com/photos/olibennett
Do keep checking the site as I will be trying to update it regularly.
If there is something that you like and you would like to leave a commission bid please do so to me at perry dot hill at ntlworld dot com stating your maximum bid for the item. Please can you also let me know whether you are a UK taxpayer as we may be able to claim Gift Aid back for your donation if you are.
I have been absolutely overwhelmed by the response to date. So far, in a very short space of time, the following artists (in no particular order) have pledged works. I have set out their website URL's where I have them so that you can check out the artist in more detail:
Anita Klein www.anitaklein.com Josie McCoy www.josiemccoy.co.uk Dan Baldwin www.danbaldwin.net Harwood King www.harwoodking.com James Cauty www.cnpdonline.com/ Stef at Hoodacious www.hoodacious.co.uk Souled out studios - Mantis, Beejoir and AMP - Some amazing things coming... watch this space www.souledoutstudios.com Mister Aitch www.misteraitch.com Ripper 1331 www.craptastica.com James Robert Ford www.jamesrobertford.com Adam Bridgland www.adambridgland.co.uk/ Patrick Hughes www.patrickhughes.co.uk/
And from this forum in particular: leom9259 saltandiron thomas jaypaav bcfc and possibly manchester mike have all said they will donate something.
The response has truly been staggering. If I have missed anybody out then please give me a shout. There is still plenty of time to get involved. I will keep you all posted.

Closer to the time I will publish details of the exact time and venue for the event - the venue is sorted but we need to finalise a few arrangements in respect of timing etc. Tickets to the event will be ยฃ25 but that will include as much booze as you can drink in 2 hours.

Sorry temporary blindness
As much booze in two hours, good idea - pissed people = higher bids (i know from experience! )
