Lot No. 43 Real Nice print by James Joyce, signed and editioned (12/25)

The final year students on the Graphic Communication course at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) in Farnham have come up with a novel way to raise money for their degree show: They’ve contacted designers, photographers and illustrators they admire and persuaded them to donate a piece of work that they can auction off on a specially made website called Beg Steal or Borrow. So far they’ve got lots for auction from the likes of James Joyce, Pentagram, Jonathan Ellery, Frost*, Kate Moross, Jonathan Barnbrook, Julian Morey and more. Here are a few lots that caught our eye…

Lot No. 9 Julian Morey Space Florescent (blue). Editioned 90/150

Lot No. 19 Photographic print by Lee Funnell. From an edition of 300

Lot No. 12 Massive 40×60″ Seen Unseen Wim Crouwel exhibition poster by SEA. From an edition of 1000

Lot No. 37 Hannah Waldron screenprint. Signed and editioned, 27/40

Lot No. 44 Frost* T-Shirt. Fabric is 100% Bamboo. Size “L”
