Guest TheGamesArtist Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Fellow bears, I first posted this on the follow follow forum and it has been greatly received by the fans over there. So well in fact, it's members have raised over a £1000. Following a chat with Frankie, GersNet are keen to get involved and happy to support this venture by giving me the opportunity to approach you, the fans, for sponsorship. Some of you may be aware of the recent Gazza commission I painted for Rangers. As a result of the painting I have been asked to paint murals on the walls inside the concourses of the Copland, Broomloan and Govan stands at Ibrox. The club have stated that although this is something they are keen to go ahead with, there is not likely to be a budget available for such a project. Instead they have proposed the incentive of a Rangers License to be able to produce my work "Officially". As well as exposure and publicity for my art, that the club will be able to generate as a result of the completed murals. As a Rangers fan and budding artist, this is obviously a massive opportunity, however will cost a small fortune in materials alone. Not to mention I may have to take unpaid leave from my current full-time job for the duration of the project. What I propose to you is the chance to get involved in something that could change the look of the stadium concourses forever. Instead of the plain white breeze block, there will be vibrant murals depicting scenes of our clubs most famous victories, the 9 In A Row era, '72 Cup winners cup, legendary player portraits, and many more - the possibilities are endless. If you make a donation of £10 or more then you will receive a small print of one of the murals painted, which I'll sign the same way I do my paintings. Don't worry my ego isn't that big that I think any of you will want my autograph, it's just a little gesture from me to say thanks for your support! Obviously if you're able to donate more than a tenner it would be greatly appreciated! I'm looking to raise in the region of £3000. If you have a company who would like to sponsor the project then please also get in touch. I will be recording the progress of the murals from start to finish using a camcorder and then producing time lapse videos which will be edited professionally. The videos will have a credits section and here is where your company could get some recognition - as well as on my website. I'm also open to wearing t-shirts/hoodies while painting in the videos. A list of the users who donate will be created here, along with the amount donated; USER... AMOUNT Craig - £100 Shorerdbear - £10 Ian1964 - £50 Frankie - £10 A few forums now getting involved, so when making a donation can people please use the "Comments" box on the donation page and put in for example "Username from Gersnet" I look forward to your support, and welcome any ideas you might have with regards to the murals. Donations can be made via PayPal by using the donate button on my website's homepage; http://www.thegamesartist.com/ You can also keep up to date with all developments and progress on this by follow follow'ing my facebook page here; http://www.facebook.com/pages/TheGam...49411641738241 (My latest painting I'm about to post up is set to raise a handsome sum for RSEA ) These murals will be there for as long as Ibrox stands and this could be your chance to make it happen. Obviously if for some reason this does not go ahead, all donations will be refunded! Total raised so far (as of 11.35pm 29/10/11) = £1,266.37 :spl: Edited October 31, 2011 by TheGamesArtist 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,195 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Consider a donation made my man. FANTASTIC idea and one which will improve the concourse areas at Ibrox to no end. Keep yourself in paints though because when the Tims come to town they will wreck it... I am making my donation just now. EDIT : I cant seem to find the link for making the donation. Any chance you could post a direct link to the donation page ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hi mate, I don't know if you'd be interested in this or not, but I'm a skilled artist and designer and would be willing to donate a day of my time to help you when you start the work. Send me a PM to talk about it more if having a skilled dogsbody to help out for a day is something that would interest you. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All help is appreciated mate, how are you with photoshop and other image manipulation programs? I'm still trying to conjure up some ideas so help at this stage would be great. Do you stay local? Maybe we could meet up to put a few ideas together 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
