Grafter charity print,....Update, by Grafter on Apr 25, 2008 12:30:04 GMT 1, Ok, here's the thing.....
Since posting some of my work on here a lot of you have been kind enough to leave favorable comments. One piece in particular, titled 'Make a wish'.....
....has attracted a lot of interest and several inquires to purchase a print. Now I have a real problem in touting my wares and have severe reservations about asking people to pay for my stuff.
However, I have been in contact with a charity called The make a wish foundation about releasing a limited edition run with a sizable amount of the proceeds going to them. They are a wonderful organization who arrange for terminally ill children to do whatever is their greatest wish. Whether it be a trip to Disneyland or the chance to play football with Beckham.
They are really interested and all I have to do is register the scheme with them officially and they will give me their full backing.
What I need from you guys is an indication as to whether this is a viable thing to devote what will be a considerable amount of my time and effort.
I propose to issue a Limited edition run of 50 priced at £50 + £8 P&P. All signed and numbered on 300gsm Farino 50% cotton art paper.
All of them will be hand sprayed with Montana Gold by my own fair hand and the floating pollen is done freehand so each print will have it's own individual look. I'll even throw in a A3 print of the original street piece for free.
Here's the 1st AP....
Registering an interest in no way commits you to buy so Please let me know what you think of my scheme.

Grafter charity print,....Update, by funster on Apr 25, 2008 12:39:47 GMT 1, I use to be a wish visitor for Make A Wish and go into the hospitals/peoples homes and find out what the children wanted as their wish. It's a very honourable charity so you can definately count me in

It's starting to look like this might be a go'er....
Just realised I left off the size of the piece in my description. It's actually 70 x 50 cm

Grafter charity print,....Update, by Grafter on Apr 25, 2008 14:50:35 GMT 1, Very nice image and great charity. What percentage would you be giving?
I have just e-mailed Rebecca @ make a wish and have filed the registration form they require. I have proposed a 50% donation at present as I'm a bit unsure how much it's gonna cost me to produce the prints (paper,paint,paypal fees,how many day off work, etc). Hopefuly by the time all's finished I can donate a higher percentage.
This will be an officialy endorsed sale, registerd in the charity's diary of events. I am not looking to earn a great amount outa' this, I'm just playing this out as it comes, so please bare with me.

I'm actually more excited about this than a normal release, because A, it's a good image that I like the street pics of, B It's raising Money for Charity & C there will be no arguing about selling, moaning about que's, etc etc... ;D
