National Doodle Day WILL Return!
National Doodle Day WILL Return!Last years campaign generated over £30,000 via the sale of 550 original A5 artworks, and this year we are hoping to make this even bigger – with some really exciting accompaniments to this years event such as an in-person launch event in Central London, a limited edition range of merchandise and virtual art classes with some beloved illustrators.
Although we are very grateful to have the support of so many huge names in the world of film, TV and art doodling, the continued success of National Doodle Day is only possible due to the involvement of the hundreds of independent artists and illustrators who create artworks for the auction each year. This is a project open for anybody creative to get involved, so to request a National Doodle Day pack, just email doodle@epilepsy.org.uk with your best postal address to receive one in the post.
