Anniversary raffle for Mr Tibbs

Jemima Mantle is a Wolverhampton based artist who is raising money for Cats Protection in memory of her beautiful cat, Mr Tibbs.

Jemima told us, "My boy Mr Tibbs was a truly gentle and happy soul. He passed in 2011 at the grand age of 16. I'd had him since I was 10, he was my best friend growing up and he moved out of my parents house with me. He was a big part of my life and all my friends and family loved him.

To commemorate and celebrate Mr Tibbs and his life shared with Jemima, she has painted a beautiful cat canvas (pictured above) which she is giving away in a free draw on Mr Tibbs' birthday - 15th June. You can also view a time lapse video showing the painting of this canvas on YouTube. 

To enter the draw and be in with a chance of winning this wonderful canvas, visit Jemima's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ardentshadows.art and like, share and tag the post on her page:

Jemima says "If you like the painting, and enjoyed the time lapse video, please support my fundraising efforts by making a donation. If you’d like to contribute please go to www.justgiving.com/ardent-shadows/

I feel like it's such a small thing to do but hopefully it's true that every little bit makes a difference. Tibbs would be so happy to know his birthday's being celebrated in this way."

Jemima exhibits with other alternative artists and regularly has stalls at tattoo shows under the name Ardent Shadows. She sells similar canvases to this at shows for £50, but this one is unique and was painted specifically for the draw. You can see more of her work at www.ardentshadows.co.uk

Every penny makes a difference, so we hope Jemima's draw gets lots of support. Good luck, everyone!
