Story

I've always been lucky enough to live in a country safe from war and which legally supports my right love and marry as I choose. My wonderful wife and I are able to live entirely openly together, we are surrounded by a community which has always welcomed us and supported us. Unfortunately not everyone is so lucky. The war in Ukraine is causing terrible hardship and LGBT+ people there need extra help to stay safe from bombs and from homophobia.

GiveOut has activated their LGBT+ Emergency Fund to support OutRight Action International in funneling support to grass roots LGBT+ organisations in Ukraine and it's neighbouring countries so that they can get on with the urgent work of supporting people. Let's give them some money!! 

On the 16th of April I successfully finished my 30 day sketchathon and with the help of some wonderful donors raised double what I was hoping to raise for GiveOut's LGBT+ Emergency fund for Ukraine. Unfortunately the war continues with it's horrible destruction and disruption of people's lives and the LGBT+ community still struggles to access humanitarian aid amid the conflict. Also I have a handful of sketches that didn't find homes during the sketchathon and whilst I can't make and publish a sketch every day forever I can still make more sketches from time to time and I have some other artworks I'd be happy to donate to the cause.  

All donations are very welcome. 

Anyone donating £30 or more can request one of the available sketches. 

In the comments section make sure to state which sketch you want. 

Please check recent comments to make sure no one else has already requested the sketch you want. 

Make sure to tick the box allowing me to contact you and arrange delivery.

I am not able to issue refunds, although I can offer an alternative sketch.

If you are outside the UK there will be a small charge for postage.
