Q. As an airbrusher, would you like the Christmas cards you give to your family and friends to be airbrushed designs?
Q. Do you usually purchase packs of Christmas cards, but would prefer 100% of the profits of the Christmas cards to go to a deserving charity?

New Airbrushed Design for 2013 | |

Alexandra Medwell is unknown as an artist, but known to the airbrushing industry as General Manager of The Airbrush Company Ltd. Unfortunately her job leaves little time for actually producing artwork, but she likes to keep her hand in with an airbrush painting once or twice a year. What better way than to do it for charity? Read more about Lexy's family history in the airbrush industry on Airbrushes.com/about_us.php Lexy painted the bauble red to add more Christmassy colour, while the original photo taken in 2005 had a silver bauble. You may be able to spot the reflected silhouette of the photographer Jane Burton who sadly died of cancer two years later in 2007. This adds a special poignancy to using the image for a Cancer charity card, especially for Jane's son, Mark Taylor, who on behalf of Warren Photographic kindly granted Lexy permission to render her airbrushed version of the image for charitable purposes.

2012 design selected by Cancer Research UK and 250,000 printed for their official 2013 range! |

Alexandra Medwell painted this beautiful robin for The Airbrush Company's 2012 Christmas card, helping us increase our total raised for Cancer Research. She then offered the painting to Cancer Research UK and they selected it for their official range of cards for 2013. Cancer Research UK printed at least 25,000 packs of Robin in Snow. This is more than 250,000 cards and thus the highest number of prints of Alexandra Medwell's work ever produced. These are available to purchase from Cancer Research shops from August 2013. However, we do have a few thousand left of our own really high-quality glossy lithographically printed version, which all raise money for Cancer Research. We are selling Robin in Snow along with the kitten design as an assorted pack. Please click on the 'Buy Now' link below! Size: A6 (not shown to scale)
