my next art adventure involves painting a life sized fibre glass replica of a british icon the K6 kiosk telephone box. to raise vital funds for a fantastic charity Childline.

the summer of 2012 promises to be one not to forget and in the year of the Diamond Jubilee, we want to connect people with this familiar icon. BT ArtBox is about joining in with the nation's celebrations and showcasing the nation's diverse talent. across London's iconic streetscapes you'll find replicas of the Gilbert Scott telephone box, transformed by the very best British creativity. And after the public display, we'll auction the boxes to raise money for ChildLine to celebrate their 25th Anniversary.

my phone box "the thing with feathers (that perches in the soul)" along with the other 99 boxes will go out on the streets of london from 18th june - 16th july 2012 after which, they will all be auctioned off in the hope of raising £1 million for Childline.

i will soon be on my travels down to london to bring my design to life. follow painting in progress tweets @lozatkinson_art

the end has come to 'the big egg hunt' with all eggs now being shipped off to their new homes and their very generous owners.

'from little acorns, mighty oaks do grow' auction ended after being extended a few times with a most glorious bid of £1,400. this has helped towards funds for two amazing charities Elephant Family and Action for Children. with the final total still being counted!!

as well as raising what im sure will be a huge total for the two charities 'the big egg hunt' also smashed two world records! the first being 'the most expensive chocolate egg' at £7,000!! then with an amazing 12,773 egg hunters!!! the world record for 'the most entrants in an egg hunt' was also broken!
and then what pops up on the BBC's bang goes the theory? only a familiar egg....

it has been an absolute honour to work on this project. not only helping kids here in the UK get a better start in life but also helping keep some of the worlds most endangered species safe from harm. i've loved every second! meeting other artists, getting to chat with the public and working with an amazing team behind the scenes that dont get enough praise for what they do! they're a small team but their ambition and heart are so huge they can and do achieve amazing things!!

 

february 2012

the big egg hunt is underway!  

find my egg somewhere on Liverpool Street in the City or egg zone 11. because if i told you the EGGxact location it wouldnt be much of a hunt would it :D

the reception so far for the event has been amazing and with egg hunters in with a chance to win a faberge egg worth £100,000 im not surprised theres such a buzz about it all.
