Mike Batt sketches Wombles for charity
Mike Batt was inundated with requests after offering some original sketches of the Wombles to raise money for good causes.
He started off drawing a few Wombles for fun, and shared video clips of his sketching on Twitter, offering to sign the artwork for charity.
He ended up agreeing to so many requests and donations that he had to work hard all weekend, saying:
“Sorry but can’t do any more ‘originals’ for now. Thanks for all the charity work you guys do. Sending out 50, signed.”
See the sketches he shared on Twitter below.
Having fun with my pens. If anyone has a sick kid or a charity auction, I'll happily sign it to them and send orig. pic.twitter.com/RUCpJ9UREp
