Hello legend,

Its Graham here,

Giving my art away my art for free sounds crazy right ?

LET ME EXPLAIN WHY I'M DOING THIS...

So the reason why I am currently giving away a limited number of prints from my "OCEAN FOREVER" Collection for FREE is to raise awareness for a UK wide mental health campaign I am running this summer. The Splat & Splash Tour - Standing Against Loneliness.

Loneliness is an increasing problem in our world. I’m 43… and I struggled with loneliness too.

Firstly I believe giving my art to people will be a catalyst for change. This tiny gesture will serve as a ripple effect in the pursuit of changing peoples lives and the society we live in.

It also will help promote the tour where I plan to visit 30 coastal towns across the UK connecting communities with art, mindfulness and sea swimming. These are three of the things that I am passionate about and are a game changer for my own mental health.

This tour will help connect people with new friends and loving communities.

I quit my 9-5 job four years ago to pursue my passion for art and helping people with their mental health. Since then, I have initiated and contributed to various projects around the world that offer people holistic methods for managing mental health, such as art therapy, support groups, and cold water swimming.

I am the founder of Youth Art Connect CIC which hold regular mental health art clubs for young people and I will be raising money and awareness for the organisation on the tour.

I also want to raise awareness for local mental health services and community clubs in the towns I visit on tour to show people what is available in the area to help them not feel so alone.

THE SPLAT & SPLASH EVENTS

The day of each event will start with participants coming to take part in my paint splat stunt. Followed by mindfulness and art sessions followed by a dash into the ocean lead by local swimming/surf clubs. I will send you more in depth details about this with your free print email confirmation.

LASTLY...

I want my art in the hands of as many people as possible. This helps people know about me and my work, but at the same time helps spread my messages of positivity and creativity.

Honestly, I just want to make a great first impression on you. What better way than to let you try my art for free? Perhaps one day you'll come back to me and ask for a larger print, or maybe even some original artwork.

(No pressure though, of course!)

I ALSO HAVE THE BEST GUARANTEE YOU’LL EVER SEE …

I fully guarantee you’ll love what you receive or I’ll refund your shipping & handling and you can keep the print anyway (or gift it to a loved one).

I love creating my art, so I want you to love what you receive just as much as I love creating it - that’s why offering this guarantee makes sense to me.

All you would have to do is contact me directly using the details on your receipt and I’ll give you back every penny. Which I’m grateful to say has never happened yet!

So this truly is a risk-free offer. (Just a heartfelt piece of art from me to you!)

My true hope is that you’ll love what you receive and this will be the beginning of a great relationship between us for years to come.

Sounds fair right?

If you have any questions please reach out at hello@grahamcullis.com

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this letter, I can’t wait to get your new piece of art to you and hopefully I'll SEA you at the beach this summer.

Cheers friend!

Love

Graham
