Decorated for peace wheat paste stencil and Decorated for Peace medal.

The medal was selected for display at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 250th Anniversary. There were only ever 6 of these wheat paste stencils made. The artist placed 3 of them on to the Seperation Wall in Bethlehem, he gave one to a local taxi driver in Bethlehem and he has donated his last silver one to me.

These are being sold as one lot with bidding starting at £10. Bids will close at 10pm on Thursday 22nd October.

Winning bidder pays shipping which will be calculated once I know where they are based.

Eel is a brighton based street artist and is an ex-serviceman having served 10 years in the RAF. The medal was inspired by his first visit to Bethlehem and the Peace Wall. He considered a number of texts for the medal but finally decided on PEACE in Arabic and Hebrew. The design on the front of the medal is a spray can top which represents all the artists who have painted on the wall and those who will paint in the future.

I should point out that when these medals went on sale at the tme of the Summer Exhibition they were selling for over £200.

STARTING PRICE HERE IS £10.... DID YOU HEAR THAT I SAID £10

Thank you startimeash and boxillrob for getting this moving.... Totally appreciated.

[mcgill14]

Another day and another chance to get a bid in for these two great items for an amazing cause. See picture below showing one of the other paste ups on the wall.

Ill take my bid to £100.

So typical of the wankers on this forum. "Yah, flipping charity prints is bad, you must donate all the profits to X charity"

I can assure you, if this was a Banksy or any other sort after piece, people would be bidding it up. Not because they give a shit about where the money is going but because they want the art.

Just to further clarify my position on this - I don't believe anyone should have to donate to charity or feel morally obligated to do so. Its just the hypocrisy on this forum that drives me nuts.

Prove me wrong fuckheads and lets get some bids in.

Thank you boxillrob that is super generous of you to increase your bid and to do some PR for me. It will be interesting to see the frenzy of new bids coming in before the Thursday deadline.

Just two days to go, get your bids in now UAA people...

[mcgill14]

It's Wednesday and it seems like a good day for a few folk to make some bids on these two incredible pieces.

Thanks to boxillrob for leading the charge so far.

This is the most amazing thread on UAA. It's a piece of art in itself.

If the life support machines for cancer riddled children were coin operated, the only way you would get money from anyone on here is if they got a free Banksy sticker every time they put in a quid.

Loving your support boxillrob, sadly I don't have any Banksy stickers but I will gladly give everyone a Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity sticker....

id proffer that a good number of members on here who donated prints or bid at auction or bought the young girls print or donated just as randomgingerbloke has done may opine differently.

We all know, if this was for something that people actually wanted, bids would be coming in under the guise of charity and doing a favour

[mcgill14]

Good morning all and welcome to Thursday, the final day for this listing. Current highest bid is £150 and you have until 10pm this evening if you would like to top that.

Thanks to those who have placed a bid so far and to those who have made a donation or left a comment.

The support that I have had via UAA for the work I'm doing with Glasgow Children's Hospital has been incredible and I hope that you all know I appreciate it hugely. These are tough times that I don't think are going to get better any time soon which makes the support even more appreciated.

Have a great Thursday.

Steve

Couldn’t agree more There are some really generous members on here and Mcgill as done an amazing job considering the current situation we find ourselves in

Yes it’s for charity and yes there would have been more people bidding on a more popular artist As with any auction charity or not there is a limit as to what people are willing to pay
As someone who as donated to this charity it’s a shame that at this late stage we have a member who as clearly not took the time to read back through older posts and seen the generosity of others who have donated just as you are doing now and I can assure you they have not donated under the guise of charity
I salute you sir and everyone who donated to this charity
Once again an amazing job done by Mcgill
