A Wigan artist has dedicated more than a year to creating a striking portrait of rock icon Liam Gallagher — and now he’s raffling it off to raise money for charity.
David Jones, a local painter with a growing reputation for his bold acrylic works, has spent the past 15 months carefully crafting the detailed portrait of the former Oasis frontman. The artwork, which captures Gallagher’s distinctive presence, is the centrepiece of an online raffle designed to raise vital funds for good causes. Proceeds will go to support Mark Best, who is currently undergoing treatment for lymphoma. This fundraiser will help Mark and his family through an incredibly tough time.
The raffle is being hosted through Raffall, with tickets available now for just a few pounds. Proceeds from the draw will go directly to charity, making the initiative not only a celebration of art and music but also a meaningful way to give back to the community.
Jones said he wanted the painting to be more than just a piece of art: “Liam Gallagher means so much to so many people. This portrait has been a real labour of love, and now it’s great to be able to use it to make a difference.”
The raffle is live online and open to everyone. Full details and ticket purchases can be found here: Enter the raffle.
