On Saturday 24 February 2018, I will be one of 30 artists and 30 writers undertaking a sponsored Draw-a-thon and Writers' Relay at Fabrica gallery in Brighton.

We're all taking part in this event because for the first time in its history, Fabrica is appealing for help in securing its future.

Individual artists or artist teams will draw for five hours non-stop. Writers will to do sprints of 30 minutes in a relay. We have a fundraising target for the event of £5,000.

Fabrica works with many vulnerable and isolated people in Brighton and thousands of people are able to see the most up to date contemporary art because entry is free.

Would you sponsor me, please?

It's such an important cause. And the very idea of my typo-ridden scrawl being protected onto the walls for all to see terrifies me. 

If you want to join in the fun, come and watch a non-stop stream of drawings unfurl throughout the day and read new stories as they emerge on screen. We will start at 11 am and end at 4 pm.

Entry is free. Fabrica is at 40 Duke Street, Brighton.

Refreshments will be on sale, and I anticipate drinks afterwards.

Thank you!
