Now in its fifth year, the ‘Pitney Bowes Pushing the Envelope’ charity auction has attracted contributions including a risque sketch of truncheon-wielding policemen drawn by ‘Vera Drake’ director Mike Leigh OBE, and designs by flamboyant artist Grayson Perry and ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ author Tracey Chevalier.
Will Wright, creator of SimCity and the much debated ‘Spore’ game which was released this week, has contributed a characteristic schematic circuitry design.
