Donate to either of these amazing charities and get the chance to have your pet drawn by the fabulous Hercule! The links to donate will be in the comments below. I'm going to let you know which photos I've sent once I've chosen them. This fella is a genius!
Have you ever wondered how long it would take me to walk a marathon whilst stopping every mile to draw a pet portrait? No, me neither. But we’re going to find out!!
In 2021 I did the ‘24 hour drawathon’, in 2022 I did a ‘100 Portrait Challenge’, this year I’m doing ‘The Portrait Marathon’….
So, here’s the deal; on Sunday 14th May I’ll be leaving Worthing (where Turning Tides are based) and walking to Brighton (StreetVet’s nearest outreach post to me) and back again….a total of 26.2 miles. At the start of the walk, and every subsequent mile, I’ll stop to draw a pet portrait…..27 of them.
What’s more, your pet could be one of the 27 lucky animals drawn and all you need to do to enter is make a donation of any amount to either Turning Tides or StreetVet. Once you’ve made your donation, please send proof (screen shot or donation ref number) together with a photograph of your pet to the following email address:
[email protected]
You’ve got until midday (BST) on Friday 12th May to submit your entry and we will then be randomly picking 27 pictures to be drawn (I REALLY hope we’ll have at least 27 entries!).
What’s EVEN more, the order in which the portraits are drawn on the day will be chosen at random and the people who are the first and last portraits to be drawn will get their original portrait along with some other goodies!! All other pics will just be uploaded onto the socials as per usual.
Yes, the entries are open to everyone, wherever you are in the world and yes, you can enter more than once. But only one photograph per donation will be considered, so multiple entries need multiple donations!
More details about the day will be announced over the next couple of weeks, but in the meantime here's a very professional poster that I designed which highlights all the important stuff.
The links to donate can be found in the comments section and please don’t forget to email us once you have done so if you want to enter your picture into the portrait draw!
There's now over 250,000 people on my social media pages, IMAGINE if half donated £2 to sponsor me on this latest challenge....
Much love
Hercule
