Celebrities get painting to help Dorset Wildlife Trust
A huge host of celebrities have picked up paintbrushes and coloured pencils to design one off pieces of art to raise money for the Dorset Wildlife Trust. TV stars such as Ricky Gervais and Graham Norton - whose (slightly lame) picture is seen here, have joined established artists like Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin to create images of butterflies and moths which will be used to help raise money to protect the county's wildlife.
The artworks will be auctioned off to the highest bidder on Ebay over the space of the next few months, starting on Sunday 16th September at 7.30pm. They will be put up for grabs a few at a time and the auctions will last one week each, with new pictures being added as the others are sold. Finally the piesta resistance will be a sale of the works by Hirst and Emin at Christie's. If you want to place a bid you can do it here.
