AmeriCymru is pleased and proud to announce that Welsh artist and illustrator Jeff Phillips is donating a series of original artworks to help raise money for the 2011 West Coast Eisteddfod in L.A.. We'll let Jeff expalin a little more about the project in his own words:-
"As part of a project that I am involved with in the setting up of a new travel group using Welsh stars and Icons birth places as visiting sites, it has fallen on me to create a series of portrait drawings for our brochures and fliers. As with this type of work once the artwork is scanned in and put onto disc, the original artwork is discarded and is usually filed away in one of my port folios' never again to see the light of day.
However this time I thought I could donate all the original artwork for auction prizes to raise funds for a good cause and I think that the West Coast Eisteddfod is a very worthy cause.
Each Drawing is in Pencil on art card size A4 / Each will be in it's own mount to fit a frame size of 14ins x 11ins / They will be individually packed in a cellophane sleeve, that will also contain a signed printed Biography sheet and a certificate of authenticity. I am targeting 30 images altogether ."
More of Jeff's work can be seen on his website , on his AmeriCymru home page and on the Dlyan Thomas Experience site.
