Sarah Larnach Original painting being auctioned, with Ladyhawke extras, for Hiati charity

2010-01-14T11:49:00.005Z

This is a re-post from http://sarahlarnach.blogspot.com/2010/01/sarah-larnach-original-painting-being.html All imagery © Sarah Larnach.

Please blog or forward or blog to anyone you think would be interested in owning this painting and helping victims of the Haitian earthquake.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280451182996

I do all of the artwork for Ladyhawke and was even nominated for an A.R.I.A. for the Ladyhawke album artwork.

Excuse me for being blunt, but this is serious, and I am doing what I can to raise help.

My sister, Emily Sanson-Rejouis, her husband and 3 daughters (ages 5, 4 and 2) are in Haiti right now, and only Emily and the youngest child have been confirmed alive.
I am auctioning an original painting from the Ladyhawke album/singles for charity, to assist in Haiti.

This is the first time a piece of artwork from my Ladyhawke work has come up for sale, so its a rare opportunity to help, and to own something that would normally be difficult to get your hands on. Pip Brown and Sarah Larnach will also sign a copy of the single (Paris Is Burning) and album where it appears, as well as writing a personal letter of thanks to the buyer.

The artwork is a watercolour painting of two cats.

I'm auctioning the painting on eBay. The auction is on now.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280451182996

Searching "Ladyhawke" and "Haiti" should bring up the correct auction.

thank you so much

2009-03-19T09:51:00.004Z

Rather predictably, the third year of my BA (Hons.) degree in Graphic Design, is a tad busy and has prevented me from having a life as most people know them, fear not though as I am not dead and more work will be completed in due course!

To keep you all going until then please take time to observe the image above which was a commissioned piece from beep magazine

Beep Magazine is Bradford's unofficial Music Magazine bringing the latest news on live events, concerts gigs featuring band reviewsn interviews and updates on the Bradford music scene.

You can visit beep by clicking this link http://www.beepmagazine.co.uk/

So long for now as I must return to the ycn brief of hell!

love & cake
