Jili Allen - Designer & Creative Consultant

The Renman Project is a fantastic way that shows that art & design CAN help in adversity.  Raising loads of dosh for Haiti and now, Chile, through selling limited edition handmade illustrations by fabulous creatives all over the globe with all proceeds going to the UNICEF appeal.

“‘Renmen’ is the Haitian word for Love, the bird in the logo is the Hispaniolan Trogon, the national bird of Haiti. ‘The Renmen Project’ has been brought together by the team at Thunder Chunky and Ben The Illustrator in order to raise funds for UNICEF’s Haiti Appeal.

Throughout 2010 we will be working with a selection of top artists and designers from around the world to create artwork which we will be selling online. Every penny made from art sales will be going to Unicef’s appeal fund.”

It may feel like Haiti was a while ago, but there are so many people there that still need our help, and this is a fantastic way to do just that!  For us tumblrs; follow the blog at http://therenmenproject.tumblr.com/ and keep updated with the artworks going up for auction.  Helping people whilst acquiring original artwork? that surely sounds fabulous!

I’m hopefully going to get involved too so watch this space! x
