Anthony Appleyard – Stay Weird

Original Pen Artwork on Recycled Elephant Dung Paper

Anthony Appleyard is a contemporary British artist whose work embraces simplicity, individuality and the power of words. Drawing inspiration from street art, typography and modern visual culture, his pieces often deliver direct messages that encourage self-expression, creativity and independent thinking. Through bold lettering and confident mark-making, Appleyard transforms simple phrases into striking works of contemporary art.

This original artwork was created as a one-off piece in support of fundraising efforts for Glasgow Children's Hospital. Executed using Posca pen on recycled elephant dung paper, the work combines sustainable materials with a bold contemporary aesthetic, resulting in a piece that is both visually engaging and meaningful.

Featuring the phrase "Stay Weird" rendered in vibrant blue lettering, the artwork celebrates individuality and encourages viewers to embrace what makes them unique. The simplicity of the composition allows the message to take centre stage, creating an artwork that is both playful and thought-provoking. The handmade paper adds texture and character, ensuring that no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

This artwork comes from a private collection assembled in support of children's charities. For deeply personal reasons, the collector has chosen to continue that charitable legacy, with a donation from the sale of each piece from the collection being made to Bristol Children's Hospital.

As a unique original artwork and part of a collection with a meaningful charitable story, this piece offers collectors the opportunity to acquire not only a one-of-a-kind work of art but also to contribute towards an important cause.
