Auction of Cover Art from Pantera Press' Betrayal by Bill Leak [02.06.2010]

image003 Pantera Press, with the consent of renowned artist Bill Leak, has generously made 5 signed prints of his artwork available for auction via eBay, to raise funds for The Smith Family.

The original artwork by Bill Leak, one of Australia’s best known political cartoonists, is the cover to Simon Benson’s new book BETRAYAL, published by Pantera Press.

Funds raised from the auction will go towards Let’s Read, an early childhood literacy program developed by the Centre for Community Child Health which The Smith Family implements across Australia. Let’s Read encourages parents to develop a shared enjoyment of reading with their children, and in so doing, help children develop the building blocks of literacy before they enter school.

The auction will commence on 31st May on eBay and will last for 10 days. The winning bidders will receive one of the five limited edition framed prints (approx 420mm x 600mm) of the original cover artwork for BETRAYAL , each one signed by the artist Bill Leak. A signed copy of BETRAYAL (RRP $49.99) is included in the package.
