Life Art - Charity Idea

Fine Art Life Drawing

Hello to all men & their partners touched by testicular cancer.

I was diagnosed with TC in late 2007 and had my right "Ball" removed a week later. I am a LIFE MODEL (someone who gets their kit off for artists and art students to study and draw) I wondered if I could put my line of work to some charitable advantage.

Bearing in mind my slightly different line of work, I thought it would be good to try and get a well known artist (the likes of Antony Gormley, Rolf Harris, Julian Freud etc would be great but I think unlikely) to do a or a small series of  life drawing pieces that could be sold at auction or placed for sale in the "picture" corridor at Churchill or JR to raise much needed funds for the Orchid Testicular Cancer, UCARE and Oxford Urology Foundation charities.

If anyone knows of any good artists or is an artist themselves who would like to get involved, I would love to hear from you and get some feedback on the validity of  this slightly "off the wall" fundraising idea using Naked Life Art to raise funds.

Best wishes to you all and spread the word: CHECK YOUR NADS LADS!

Ant.

Ant - did you ever get any takers for this idea?

You probably know John D Edwards, who has had a urology related cancer - and has written a book illustrated with his paintings.  He might be someone you could contact.
