My First Charity Auction



Wanted to share a feel good moment from last night. A year ago, I sent some artwork to support a charity event in London. Sadly it didn't, make it in time and I never got the opportunity to play my part.  So the event was held again last night and my art piece of The Heath Ledger Joker was lined up alongside some amazing items donated by legends such as John Terry and Jamie Redknapp to name a few. I'm blessed to say, with the help of my good friend, James Davis @jumdavis , The Joker closed the charity event and put them over the top and now a new school Library and Music room will be built.

Stanley Martin Lieber, most commonly known as Stan Lee, died on November 12 from heart failure at the age of 95 – leaving behind a legacy that is second to none.He was a pioneer in the world of superhero comics and has been immortalised in the latest piece of work by Tariq Sharif, a 39-year-old Bahraini who founded Arkham Creative. Mr Sharif’s work, which he also donates to raise money for various charities, is created through the layering of multi-coloured paper, hand cut with a surgical blade that produces spectacular shadows and textures likened to a photograph. “Stan Lee had a major impact on me growing up, ever since I could walk,” said Mr Sharif, who now lives in Abu Dhabi. “I was always pretending to be Spider-Man and other heroes, watching cartoons, playing with the toys and I e...
