More than 600 pieces of art will be up for grabs, making this year’s National Doodle Day the biggest yet. The proceeds from each doodle sold will go to supporting the 600,000 people living with epilepsy in the UK.

Other famous faces who have contributed include Dame Joanna Lumley, Stephen Fry, Freema Agyeman and  Grayson Perry .

Michael King from Epilepsy Action, said: ‘Each year we’re amazed at the huge amount of support given to National Doodle Day by celebrities and amazing artists across the country. 

‘This year we have a record-breaking number of talented contributors who have donated incredible pieces of art to the auction. Whatever your interests, there really is something for everyone in this year’s auction and I’d encourage anyone who would like to own an original piece of art to browse the collection.

‘Bidding on a doodle will not only be the first step to building your very own bespoke art collection, but it will also help to raise vital funds to support people affected by epilepsy.’

The auction is taking place here.
