Glasgow Children's Hospital....one last time, by mcgill14 on Feb 3, 2023 18:12:32 GMT 1, Following the success of last years event which raised over ยฃ80000 I told the charity I was done. Everyone who was involved said "oh yes, we've heard that before". Well they were right and they've convinced me to do one last event.
This will be my last cause I'm 61 now and it's bloomin hard work to plan and organise.
The event will be a little different to previous but will still be amazing. I already have 200 incredible artists from across the world signed up to participate, with more to come. I'll post more news about this years concept in a few weeks, so watch this space. That is unless the post police shift it to where it can't be seen...
In the meantime if you are an artist or a gallery and you think you can help then drop me a message.
Thanks folks...... Steve

Itโs such an amazing thing youโve done Steve and the money raised is 100% life changing for those kids in need. Massive kudos to you and if it is the last.. hopefully we can talk you into keep it going ha!
Could you eventually pass the reigns on or bring in some of us local collectors on board to help reduce the work load you face each year.
We should have really offered before but guess everyone a little guilty of taken for granted until they realise when itโs gone the job you do for the cause and the huge amount of work.

Thank you for your lovely comments. It is the last definitely and I'll tell you why. The art world have been phenomenal at supporting what I do and the crazy ideas I come up with. I think there are only so many times that you can approach this world without becoming a total pain in the arse. I've made some great friendships with incredible artists over the three auctions and I don't want to ruin that.
I will carry on fundraising for this incredible establishment however for 2024 I'll need to think outside the art box for what I'm going to do.

Massive kudos for agreeing to do this again, Iโm sure it is a shedload of work.
Are you also accepting donated pieces or just straight from the artists?
Thank you, I am always very happy to accept donations of art for the auction. Clet Abraham and Roamcouch knew they wouldn't have time to do what's happening this year so they have already sent me some stunning prints.

So, how do we turn this in to the Glasgow Children's Hospital 33rpm Art Auction 2023?
An amazing design company called Contagious in Edinburgh has donated me 250 blank vinyl album covers.
I now have 193 artists signed up and each one of them will be sent a blank album cover in order for them to create an original art work. This means that every 31 x 31 cm cover will be a unique work of art.
I am SUPER excited by this concept and can't wait to see the art works as they start to arrive. I look forward to being able to share these with you as and when they touch down.

Sounds promising.
Like blank postcards, the idea of blank LP covers as a starting point is simple and straightforward.
The consistency of format and dimensions has its own appeal โ conceptually, but also for practical reasons.
It will allow for a display of the finished artworks to be done easily and cheaply. [Or at least in most cases, since a few artists may choose to physically alter the shape and size of their album-cover substrate.]
With covers typically measuring 31.43 x 31.43 cm, IKEA's LOMVIKEN frame becomes suitable, for just ยฃ10 apiece. Take out the mount, and the internal dimensions are 32 x 32 cm:
If awarded such a task as an artist, my own idea would be to insert one of my favourite records into the sleeve and then come up with an alternative cover design for that album.

Iโm looking forward to seeing the original works from the many artists I know and learn about other artists Iโm yet to have discovered.

Hi, the auction date is 25th October at McTear's Auctioneers in Glasgow. It will be online simultaneously worldwide. I know that seems ages away however I'm sure you can appreciate that artists are a busy bunch and they need plenty time to find a slot to fit this in.

Glasgow Children's Hospital....one last time, by mcgill14 on Feb 22, 2023 20:21:51 GMT 1, All blank album covers have now been shipped to the UK artists who are in this years gang, can't wait to see what comes back. Proper excited.
Thanks to the recent cyber attack on Royal Mail the new process for sending parcels overseas is an absolute pain in the arse for the guys in the post office. As such I can only send 10 overseas parcels a day or else endure the wrath of everyone else in the post office. First 10 overseas artists were sent today.
As of tonight I now have 238 artists onboard for this last art auction.

Glasgow Children's Hospital....one last time, by mcgill14 on Feb 23, 2023 22:44:32 GMT 1, 252 artists now signed up, that's 252 what the actual. I'm just 3 artists away from beating last years artist total by 100. I have had to go back to the company who donated the album covers to ask if they can possibly provide another 20. I already have a standby list of artists hoping to get one.
I cannot wait to see the amazing works that I know are going to be created.

Daniel Silk โข The number or Boards and Threads continues to fall as we simplify the layout of the forum.
Daniel Silk โข I hear a lot of Artists complaining about Instagram in the past year, how it used to be a good tool for Artists, but it's not good anymore, is that true?
anyaart โข For Brett Kern fans, I noticed there is a spinosaurus for sale on E-Bay. It's a limited edition, one of only 60 made. This is the rarest of his dinosaurs. I am not the seller. I already have the same dino purchased in 2016. I've never seen one up for sale
Daniel Silk โข Apology โข Sorry I have been offline this past few weeks, due to a very bad Fever. I'm slowly getting better, step by step, and catching up with things here on the forum on the days I'm well enough. Thank you for your understanding.
Boy Wonder โข I read that they were more or less nicked the same day they went up. Loads of fakes exist.
milou2 โข Would love to see any photos of Banksy's first exhibition at the Severnshed in Bristol (2000). Who was there?*
jirr โข Hi all, over here in the states. Pandemic put me out of business, need to sell this asap. Please send offers thanks so much
matgab โข Steven Harrington - Gotcha first ed for sale.
1nkling โข I can't help but think that a more reasonable tier for people who just want to support the work you guys do would raise more income. Then other tiers for those that want specialist benefits.
1nkling โข As soon as I saw the heading for the email I thought 'Oh yeah, I use that place a lot. I'd happily support it'. Not at ยฃ40 a month though. I have a paid sub for a Formula 1 site I use that is very active. They have a high uptake on subs at ยฃ12 a year.
1nkling โข Pricing on the new supporters sub seems a bit poorly thought out. ยฃ40 a month to have a pinned sale thread being the only listed benefit?
Daniel Silk โข The forum now has more than half the number of Boards than it had a year ago! As we work towards simplifying the layout.
ashj52 โข Hi everyone; does anyone know where I may be able to find a George condo prism print? Any guidance on price would also be much appreciated! I contacted AA, they said they cannot disclose whether there will be any further drops this year.
