Graffle!

ok, next big and exciting thing - the graffle!

You buy a ticket for £5. You could win art by banksy, Nick Walker, Jamie Reid, Xenz, Dicy, Motorboy, yaka and many many more...... and if you don't (and if you do) all proceeds go to Bristol children's charities.

They're having an opening party at Bridewell tomorrow (Friday 14th Dec) at the 12 Days of Xmas show, 8-10pm. Then you can buy tickets from selected outlets until the draw on 18th January at Guerilla Gallery.

Sounds pretty fab to me, but don't take my word for it, check the website: www.graffle.co.uk and spread the word!
