Raising money for Leukemeia and Lymphoma Charities

When I'm not blogging, repairing computers, making websites etc... I like to paint. I have run out of room at my studio for more work and am selling off my existing collection to raise money for charity. Here is an example of my work that sold this morning as someone made a donation to my just giving page:

This is a small work and raised £37.50 for my chosen cause. Should you wish to browse my entire collection please visit my facebook page where you can find all of my existing work. 

Garry Walker - Artist Promote your Page too


Please like my page and if you would like to purchase a painting then please private message me to check availability. Then assuming it is available make me an offer - and I will probably accept it. Then send me your address details or collect it in person and it's yours.

If you don't care for a painting you are still more than welcome to make a donation to my just giving page. Here are the details:



If you like my style but the painting you want is gone - or you have a specific idea or theme in mind then I am happy to produce you a one off bespoke work for the right price. £50 - £200 would be appropriate depending on the size of the painting you want. Your canvas options and your choice of frame (if required).

Thankyou, and please give generously.

Movember - day 6

Hi, 

This Movember, the month formerly known as November I’ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about prostate cancer.  My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help, you can either: 

•  Click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/1120574/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account . Or,

•  Send cheques and CAF vouchers (made payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity Re Movember’) directly to The Prostate Cancer Charity – First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London W6 0LE. Be sure to include the person’s name on the back of the cheque.

The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.
For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs. 

Thank you in advance for helping me to support men’s health.
