Anyone live in or near Bristol? Rufus participated in an drawing- for-charity project, and the artwork is on display this weekend. Some is being auctioned off, but they don't say whose, and it's a blind auction so you wouldn't know whose artwork you're bidding on. Might be fun to see though, if you live nearby.

Hop, skip or jump to art exhibition

Prime Minister David Cameron and Sex And The City actress Kim Cattrall are among celebrities and artists who have created an original artwork for a charity exhibition in Bristol.
Professional and amateur artists have come together to create works for the gallery show, which is to become an "artistic gamble" art sale. That is because although the artists have signed their work on the back, the name is not known to the public until they have bought it.
Each piece of art measures 6x8" and is on sale for £40.
Other people who have contributed to the Sixbyeight Exhibition include Ben Ainslie, Tom Stoppard and Rufus Sewell.
In total, the committee behind Sixbyeight have collected 450 pieces of art which will go on public view at a private screening on Friday, before opening to public view for two days from Saturday.
Ten pieces will be up for sale by auction at the private viewing, with another 15 available in a silent auction over the weekend.
Money raised through the sales will be donated to Hop Skip and Jump, a charity which provides a centre for children with special needs in Kingswood, Bristol.
The Sixbyeight Exhibition, which is free to enter, is being held at The Bristol Gallery, Millennium Promenade, Harbourside, Bristol.
Donations can also be made to Sixbyeight via Just Giving at www.justgiving.com/hsj.

I can't make it either, but maybe once the auction has been held they'll put the pieces of artwork up on their website for us all to see.
! They really should have had an online auction component. I saw quite a few I would have bid on.
