All bids are welcome in this charity auction of original portraits by Julian O’Dell.
You can take your choice of any the signed sketched portraits shown below. They can be framed in black or white, according to the winner’s preference, and all money raised will go to Action Against Cancer, which looks to find cures for different types of cancer.
The auction is part of industry trainer, consultant and EYE contributor Julian’s annual fund-raiser, Catfest, named after his wife Cat who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010.
Last year, Catfest raised £31,272 with a festival of music, food and fun at their home in Bedfordshire.
This year, the couple hope to do even better, with sponsors including Rightmove, Reapit, Moneypenny, EYE and the Negotiator, not to mention generous agents Manning Stainton, Beasley & Partners and Anthony Pepe.
So, what are we bid for one of Julian’s superb original portraits? As of yesterday, the bidding closed at £75. Come on, you can do better!
The auction closes tomorrow at 6pm (on Wednesday August 2) so you haven’t much time.

£200 from London-based bidder it is. Now we are cooking.
£225 is the next step please.
Back comes Simon with £175.01. That penny could make all the difference.
Someone bring us to £200 (and the penny if you like) please.
And £150 bid.
Simon the bidding is against you.
£175?

Thank you Simon! Lovely to have your bid. However, you have some competition…and no wonder, given the quality of Julian’s work.
I am now bid £125. May I say £150?
