Bid for original Axel Scheffler artwork and raise money for the Disasters Emergency Committee Syria Crisis Appeal

We’re auctioning four pieces of original signed artwork by Pip and Posy and The Gruffalo illustrator Axel Scheffler to raise money for the Disasters Emergency Committee Syria Crisis Appeal.

The four pieces were drawn at the Oxford Literary Festival last weekend – during his events, Axel takes drawing requests from the audience, and he thought we could raise some money for charity by putting them up for sale afterwards. Here are the four pieces being auctioned:

These pieces would make fantastic gifts and are HIGHLY collectible. They are pencil drawn on flipchart paper of approximately A2 size – there’s some tearing at the top edge of each piece where they’ve been separated from the pad. They’re all signed and dated by Axel, and will be delivered unmounted. We’re selling the work through eBay (click the links below each photo for their individual auctions), and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Disasters Emergency Committee Syria Crisis Appeal.

DEC’s appeal will provide relief for the three million Syrian people who have fled their homes. They desperately need food, shelter and medical care. If you’d rather make a simple donation, you can give to the appeal here.

The sales will end in one week, and the auctions are opening at the fantastic rate of £100 each (posting to the UK and Ireland only, I’m afraid) – get bidding, and help a good cause!
