Richard Skipworth cartoons – raising funds for the Greyhound Trust
I hope regular readers will have chuckled at the Richard Skipworth greyhound glossary cartoons I occasionally publish. Well, now he’s produced a book of two years’ worth of his cartoons, together with 4 Christmas Card designs and a 2019 calendar. All sold to raise funds for the Greyhound Trust. Info below.
‘I’ve just done a deal with the Greyhound Trust in the UK to sell my book through their official store. A percentage of the profits will go towards helping the hounds in their care.
Here’s a link: https://greyhoundtruststore.com/collections/all/richard-skipworthI’ve also produced a range of Christmas cards for the Greyhound Trust again this year, and they asked me to help in promoting them – see link above. According to their page, overseas shipping is available, details on this link. https://greyhoundtruststore.com/pages/about-us
The calendar is available to buy on ebay but beware, postage is expensive.
