I Sold My Art To Make Fundraiser Donations For Animal Rescue Organizations

by Patrick Penrose Published Nov 14, 2025

Once upon a time, like many artists, I would donate some of my art to various fundraisers for organizations that helped animal rescues or assisted the environment.

Unfortunately, that had changed when the donation laws were replaced. After that, artists could no longer claim the cost of what the art would sell for, we could only charge for how much the materials cost. Once in a great while, I still do the occasional contribution of a custom portrait or art in which I can save production costs by using Creative Commons O sources and memes for reference.

Below are some of my favorites from over the years.
