My name is Tony Swaby. I am an artist and when you buy my work I pledge to buy art from other artists. Here's some of my A3 charcoal drawings and 25x30 paintings for sale, there are many more. The prices range from £75 to £150 (not including shipping). I'm also doing 4 hour drawing coaching sessions for £100.
What's it all about...
One positive outcome of the coronavirus crisis has been the rallying of communities to help those most vulnerable in the face of adversity. A prime example is Artist Support Pledge, an initiative set up by the Sussex-based artist Matthew Burrows, which is offering a self-sustaining lifeline to an ever-expanding number of fellow artists across the world. The concept is simple: artists are invited to post pictures of their works for sale for £200 or less on Instagram using the hashtag #ArtistSupportPledge. Every time an artist makes £1,000 in sales they then pledge to spend £200 on purchasing the work of another artist using the hashtag. There are no enforcements, it is a system based on trust.
