Cartoon canvas auction

IMG_0845 copy

I’m selling five cartoon canvasses. They are the final five that I own that I drew to be exhibited at the Lambeth Conference in 2008 (all of the others were disposed of by various means or given to Archbishops).

The five cartoons are as follows (images at the end of this post):

1. Bishops’ meetings (original cartoon) Start price: £20 + £10 P&P (UK only)
2. How Christians can work together across the divide (original cartoon) Start price: £20 + £10 P&P (UK only)
3. Ordinary Anglicans (original version not currently available unless to are a Church Times subscriber – see here) Start price: £20 + £10 P&P (UK only)
4. The church kitchen (original cartoon) Start price: £29.99 + £10 P&P (UK only)
5. The peace (original cartoon) Start price: £29.99 + £10 P&P (UK only)

The auctions are on Ebay UK and will run for 10 days, so will end on the evening of Thursday 29 September.

The canvasses themselves are originals in the sense that I drew them, but they are not the original originals in that they had already been drawn on paper for the Church Times, etc. They have been stored since 2008 and are not in absolutely perfect condition (sample blemish), but they are pretty good. I’m happy to sign on the front if required, and/or sign with an inscription on the frame on the back. I will write your choice of words but reserve the right to edit text (always have to say that now…).

All funds raised by these auctions will go towards the work of Esuubi, a charity working with children in Uganda. Read more about it here and follow on Twitter here: @esuubi. I’m very pleased to say that a special fund at my church, St John’s and St Mary’s Langdon Hills, will match the money raised by these auctions.

    The overseas postage question.

    When I looked into it posting a box containing a canvas was going to cost a three figure sum. If someone wants to look into it and find a better way I would be prepared to open it to overseas postage. The details are as follows:

    Box weight: not sure, but under 2kg.

    Box dimensions (the expensive bit): 787 x 660 x 65mm
