Ask Your Kids To Dream Up A Monster And This Artist Will Paint It – Donations To The NHS!

With everyone’s little monsters at home, talented Nunhead based artist Dan Walsh has launched Request A Monster, an initiative set to put smiles on faces while raising money for the NHS during the current crisis.

The idea is so super-simple. Ask your kids to dream up a monster, what it looks like, its name, hobbies and where it lives, and pass your weird, wonderful and wacky ideas to Dan via Instagram or Facebook.

Dan will spend pretty much an entire day on each sketch, carefully bringing your little one’s imagination to life in the most beautiful watercolours. The end results will be posted on his Instagram and emailed to you directly so you can frame your little monster’s monster!

In return, Dan’s asking for generous donations to be made to the NHS Charities Together via Virgin Money Giving.

Contact Dan on Instagram and Facebook:

What will your little one’s monster look like?

A fantastic initiative, by an insanely talented artist. We love it, Go Dan!
