During August I decided to take commissions for illustrations... instead of paying me, I decided that the clients could contribute whatever amount they felt appropriate for the artwork to my JustGiving page (Arthritis Research UK)!
Arthritis Research UK is a really important charity as it helps the huge amount of people affected; working to take the pain away and to help people remain active, doing the things they love. In August I had surgery for a rare bone disease I was recently diagnosed with, so I thought while I'm recovering would be the perfect opportunity to get creative and help out a worthy cause (while watching all 6 seasons of Gossip Girl).
The clients just had to let me know what they wanted illustrating, send me any reference pictures if specifically requested and then just describe size and media. They could contact me using Facebook Messenger or by writing a message on my illustration A Wasp in a Wig Facebook page wall.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I also used my various social medias for my illustrations under A Wasp in a Wig to spread the word and get donations and commissions for this project!
