Hi folks.
Long time lurker on this site and did post occasionally a while ago.
Haven't really had the chance to post since my son was born last year and contracted a virus which led to him having a heart transplant at four weeks.

To raise funds for research done by the transplant team at Great Ormond Street Hospital I've organised an auction of original artwork on Ebay for the start of November.
I hope you'll forgive me posting here as the art isn't comic related but is by children's book illustrators including Korky Paul, Lynne Chapman and An Vrombaut. However, I do know that there is an interest in original artwork and the auction is for a worthwhile cause.

For all the information please visit the blog publicising the auction at:

Many thanks,

Ian

Hi all,

Just a reminder:

The charity art auction "Art for Hearts" is on it's final day. The auction is of original artwork (Some especially created for the auction), signed prints and signed books by professional children's illustrators. These include Korky "Winnie the witch" Paul, An "64 Zoo Lane" Vrombaut and Lynne "Class Two At the Zoo" Chapman. Any of these would make an ideal Christmas present.

All proceeds are going to fund research done by the transplant team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Transplanted organs do not have the same life expectancy as non-transplanted organs and they are trying to find ways of changing that.

The auction is on Ebay. type in "Art-For-Hearts" and it'll take you there. For further details you can check out the blog:

Thanks for listening,

Ian

I would like to apologise to Arts for Hearts as due to me moving cities Arts for Hearts completely passed me by. Mrs tweak was involved and turns out she donated some of her screen prints to Arts for Hearts. So I feel really aweful as I should have pimped this more myself.

Vicious Imagery also blogged using one of her print pictures

As did Leigh Gallagher http://leighgallagherart.blogspot.com/2009/11/art-for-hearts-charity-auction.html.

Which again I missed

I missed this due to being behind on my blogs due to moving. DOH!

BUT! Mrs Tweak blogged about it today. and it seems to have been a great success. Well Done all involved.
