    YogTowers for charity

    YogtowersBrittish Youtubers the Yogscast are currently raising funds for OXFAM, a vibrant global movement fighting poverty.

    To support this great initiative I’ve drawn this illustration, showing their efforts during their entertaining livestreams, broadcasted from the Yogscast’s office known as Yogtowers. 

    The original artwork was auctioned out and the earnings (£ 208) was donated to Honeydew’s Honeydrive, supporting Oxfam’s Plan Bee and 365 Emergency Response charities.

    Plan Bee provides training and a workshop for the manufacture of modern beekeeping equipment for Ethopian families. It will open up new jobs and allow beekeepers to earn a better living for their families.

    365 Emergency Fund is a specialised project dedicated to aiding  emergency situations worldwide. Oxfam responds to around 25 situations worldwide at any one time.

    The artwork is featured at the exhibition Game Art at the National Museum of Science and Technology,  2/2 – 21/4 2013.  http://www.tekniskamuseet.se/1/4829.html

  • Building Yogtowers

    Yogtowers

    This past christmas, Brittish podcasters/youtubers Yogscast raised funds for Oxfam.

    To support this great initiative I’ve drawn this illustration, showing their effort during the livestreams, broadcasted from the Yogscast office, known as Yogtowers. I hope to to contribute to this great cause by auctioning out the original inkdrawings here.

    All earnings from this auction will be donated to the Honeydew Honeydrive, supporting Oxfam’s Plan Bee and 365 Emergency Response  charities.

    Plan Bee provides training and a workshop for the manufacture of modern beekeeping equipment for Ethopian families. It will open up new jobs and allow beekeepers to earn a better living for their families. 365 Emergency Fund is a specialised project dedicated to aiding  emergency situations worldwide. Oxfam responds to around 25 situations worldwide at any one time.

    The tower was built piece by piece by pasting together ink drawings of members of the Yogcast crew showing their great efforts during their fantastic livestreams, so far they have raised over £ 200’000 from donations, mainly from their tremendous fanbase, known as the Yognaughts.
