Celebrity artwork: 'The perfect X-mas gift'

Celebrity artwork: 'The perfect X-mas gift'

Artwork created by celebrities and artists including Bob Geldof and Jude Law have gone on preview.

Over 300 canvasses are being auctioned online until 6 December in aid of the Willow Foundation.

The charity was set up by Arsenal football legend Bob Wilson and his wife Megs in memory of their daughter and provides morale-boosting days for seriously ill 16 to 40-year-olds.

The charity said that the canvasses by film stars including Matt Damon and John Hurt could make the perfect Christmas present.

A piece by TV chef Gordon Ramsay depicted a man saying "me gone mad" while Zoe Ball covered her canvass with kiss images.

Film star Damon created two artworks, one saying: Tottenham Sucks and another saying Go Arsenal.

In the political world Hazel Blears drew a motorbike, Boris Johnson penned a self-portrait and his predecessor as London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, drew his favourite animal - a newt.

The artworks are on show at the SW1 Gallery in London.
