To support Moorfields’ Eye Hospitals work on child glaucoma, hundreds of illustrators “donate their eyes”
From Anorak Magazine’s Donate Your Eyes campaign, by Claudia Bessi
From Creative Review:
Donate Your Eyes was set up by kids magazine Anorak and Anomaly creative director David Lawrie, whose own son, Flynn, was diagnosed with glaucoma while a baby.
As well as bringing together a wealth of eyeball-themed artworks on a dedicated Instagram page, they’re hoping to make more people aware of the condition, and raise money for London’s Moorfields Eye Hospital – which treated Flynn when he was younger [here’s the direct donation link].
Submissions so far have ranged from looping animations and minimal line drawings to more surreal interpretations, including Malachy James’ image of a man carrying a pair of giant, disembodied eyeballs. All pieces of work are donated – although the original artist retains the rights – and Anorak is accepting new submissions for the foreseeable future.
Eye-themed artworks can be submitted to Anorak by email, on Instagram, and at their website. Below is a selection of images already submitted, with direct links to the artists:
