It's fast approaching that time of year again, November 15th 2019 sees the 40th rendition of the BBC's annual telethon 'Children In Need,' raising much needed funds for Childrens charity in Britain and overseas.
Pudsey has been associated as one of the faces of the Charity night since his creation in 1985, appearing in: marketing, lapel badges, hats, T-shirts, graphics on the night or people dressed up as giant Pudseys with buckets collecting cash!
It was exciting for Doug to should combine his artistic style with a portrait of a giant Pudsey and one of his human characters, this time dressed in the rare red clothes, for this beautiful artwork; deep red and gold paints make this painting of our two happy heroes, really stand out!
'Pudsey' becomes an addition to the hugely popular range of Doug's that feature plush cuddly toys, 'Bear Hugs II' (2014) is just one example.
As well as owning a wonderful limited edition by Doug, you also get the satisfaction that some of the money from your print was donated to the charity! (same with the Pudsey - Sculpture)
This 'Pudsey' sculpture remains one of Doug's most popular limited edition sculptures to date, capturing your imagination in so many ways and bringing warm & cheer to the many homes we send to.
Ahead of the BBC's 'Children In Need' appeal on 14th November 2014, Doug Hyde released this ever so cute sculpture of their teddy bear: 'Pudsey,' in a warm and loving embrace with one of Doug's characters.
The giant oversized teddy bear: 'Pudsey' is the mascot for the 'Children In Need' charity here in the UK and is instantly recognisable and associated with the good will of the British public, who continue to break records almost year on year with their generous donations.
Bringing to life Pudsey in a real, tangible and touchable way, this is a lovely tribute to the essential work done by the British charity 'Children In Need' - helping to improve the lives of British underprivileged and disabled children.
This and similar charities' good work is something very close to Doug Hyde's heart & he supports them. With every sculpture sold a contribution to the 'Children In Need' charity will be made.
For ‘Children In Need’ 2014 Doug created the sculpture: 'Pudsey'; for the 2013 rendition Doug released the signed limited edition also called: 'Pudsey.'
For perhaps the last time, we give you the opportunity to own both pieces as the limited edition print is now been in circulation since the same time last year and is nearly sold out. Both items represent great gift ideas and with Christmas coming, I wonder would these make your perfect stocking filler?
The sculpture is too cute to let it pass by and we are sure this will be a strong seller. With the sale of each item, ‘Children In Need’ will receive a charity donation.
Your purchase comes with 1 sculpture & 1 mounted limited edition print (will need framing)
These pieces are not matching edition number, nor are they shown to scale in the jpeg, both images have been rescaled for ease of display - 23 x 25 cm is the sculpture size and 41 cm x 30 cm is the print size (just the image).
Doug Hyde has a unique ability to capture innocence and love within more than one medium, namely painting and sculpture; by purchasing both items, you are able to fully appreciate this skill and admire them in your own home.
You can also feel good that a contribution to the Charity is made with the purchase of each item.
What better way to celebrate the new sculpture of the teddy bear mascot 'Pudsey,' than to buy the sculpture and one of the few remaining copies of 2013's limited edition of the same name, by Doug Hyde.
This set contains 1 sculpture & 1 framed limited edition print.
These pieces are not matching edition number, nor are they shown to scale in the jpeg, both images have been rescaled for ease of display; Pudsey sculpture size: 9 x 10 inches Pudsey print size: 16 x 12 inches is the image only size.
