Andy has kindly donated this great signed print of the eleventh Doctor in action. The art was a strip sample sent into "Doctor Who magazine" and this led to Andy illustrating some articles.

Andy says of this picture, "Interestingly I chose to feature the Silurians long before there were any whisperings on the internet about their return in the current series (Although these are the Pertwee ones of course).

Our thanks to Andy for his very kind contribution.

Pete Wallbank

Artist Pete Wallbank has been in contact. Pete has been responsible for a number of Doctor Who video, book, magazine covers and calendars.

Rather than donate a piece of artwork for the auction Pete has very kindly offered to create a commissioned piece of artwork for the highest bidder. For this original piece the winner gets to choose what they would like.
As part of the package they would receive all of the original preliminary work as well - it could end up as several original works for the price of one!

The accompanying artwork is an example of Pete's stunning artwork. For further examples please check out Pete's website in the Links section.

As always, keep reading the blog for details on when the artwork will be auctioned.

Our thanks to Pete for his very kind donation.
