New Airbrushed Design for 2013 | |

Alexander Medwell is unknown as an artist, but known to the airbrushing industry as General Manager of The Airbrush Company Ltd. Unfortunately his job leaves little time for actually producing artwork, but he likes to keep his hand in with an airbrush painting once or twice a year. What better way than to do it for charity? Read more about Alex's family history in the airbrush industry on Airbrushes.com/about_us.php Alex 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 Alex permission to render his airbrushed version of the image for charitable purposes.

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

Alexander Medwell painted this beautiful robin for The Airbrush Company's 2012 Christmas card, helping us increase our total raised for Cancer Research. He 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 Alexander 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)
