Festival 2031 Silent Auction
Silent Auction: Newcastle Legends Artwork
Two striking framed original artworks featuring Newcastle United legends Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer have very kindly been donated to raise funds in support of Festival 2031.
The artworks were created and donated by John Dyer of Windle Creative, a Newcastle-based creative studio specialising in illustration, character design, branding, packaging and style guides. Windle describes its work as bold, character-driven design and has worked across entertainment, consumer products, gaming and licensing for more than 35 years.
Both pieces are artist-signed and dated 2016, professionally framed, and presented in a bold black-and-white style with subtle blue detailing. They would make a superb addition to a home, office, bar, lodge room, sports room or collection.
We are offering both pieces by online silent auction, with all proceeds going in support of Festival 2031.
