Is there anything Bono can't turn his hand to?
The U2 frontman is spending the little spare time he has between
making a new album and saving the world by dabbling in the world of art.
Bono has been busy scribbling away in the studio, and the end result
is a sketch which he is auctioning at the Herbal Essences Fashion
Launch at the Westbury on Friday.
A friend of Bono's told Talk of the Town that he is particularly
proud of his latest creation and that he believes it will fetch a few
bob for the Rape Crisis Centre.
Bono did an original sketch for the lunch last year and it was one of
the most popular auction slots!
If Bono hadn't been a musician, he might well have been an artist.
His sketches for a book based on Peter and the Wolf for the Irish
Hospice Foundation were criticially acclaimed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I seldom post requests here in PLEBA but after reading this article today I thought that it would be great to start a thread of Bono's drawings through the years.
So if you would like to post some of the B-man's original artistic contributions, please feel free to do so in this thread.
Thanks.
