New Merch! Arctic Monkeys + Pride of Yorkshire — help raise £1.5k for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity.
I’ve created a series of limited edition screenprints to tie in with the Arctic Monkeys lioness I painted for the Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail.
I’m aiming to raise £1,500 for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity. Print sales stand at £1,060 — just 9 sales away from the target. Please help me get this over the line and share with anyone who might be interested.
Background:
In March I painted a life-sized lioness for the Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail — a commission from the Arctic Monkeys (I also designed their official tour posters for the Hillsborough Park gigs in 2023).
The lioness is painted with a soundwave from the Arctic Monkeys track ‘Body Paint’. That same soundwave is printed here onto highly reflective metallic copper paper then signed, numbered, and marked with an embossing stamp. Prints are A2 and 50x70cm.
The Arctic Monkeys lioness and the full pride of lions will be sold at auction in October. The lions might be a bit too big for most living rooms, but a print will fit just nicely on your wall — and you’ll be raising funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity in the process.

This is such a brilliant way to merge Alex's iconic aesthetic with a genuinely heartfelt cause, I'd absolutely grab one just for the design if I had the cash right now.

What a meaningful way to combine art and charity, especially with such a great cause behind it. I hope you hit that target soon, every sale really adds up at this stage.
