December 18, 201213 yr Every year a Dutch radiostation has an event a week before Christmas. 3 radio DJ's will be locked inside a glass house and make radio 24 hours a day, without anything to eat. They'll only get fruit- and vegetable juices. With this event they raise money for a good cause. People can request songs for money, they can raise money with an action of their own or bid on items that are up for auction. This event is called Serious Request and it starts today. They'll raise money for the Red Cross, for a project to prevent children die at birth. This year one of the items in the auction is a complete set of prints from the Mylo Xyloto artwork. They are the limited edition which was earlier on sold by Album Artists. The prints are signed by Paris. How did they get there, you ask? Well... I've been rude enough to just ask Album Artists if they could ask Coldplay. And so they said YES! I'm very happy and gratefull that it all worked out and to add to the good cause. Here's the Dutch description: Veilingitem 2150 Dit is ook weer zo’n uniek item dat je alleen maar tijdens 3FM Serious Request tegen het lijf loopt. Chris Martin en zijn vrienden vormen natuurlijk al jaren de geweldige Britse popsensatie Coldplay. Speciaal voor hun laatste album, Mylo Xyloto werkten deze muziekkunstenaars samen met een grafitti-kunstenaar genaamd Paris. “While we were making the last album we did quite a lot of painting with our friend Paris. We built a special wall in our studio and sprayed it, wrote on it and threw things at it until it eventually became the artwork for Mylo Xyloto”. Deze set van 3 prints vormt samen de complete wall die Coldplay i.s.m. grafitti-artist Paris heeft gemaakt. Dit diende later als basis voor het artwork van hun laatste album, Mylo Xyloto. Van de aangeboden prints zijn er slechts 650 gedrukt. Elke print is een ‘high end digital print’ van 50x50 cm en zijn elk met de hand gesigneerd door Paris. Aangeboden namens: Coldplay, Paris & Album Artists. Bieden dus... https://www.marktplaatsveilt.nl/door-paris-gesigneerd-artwork-coldplay To all Dutch Coldplayer, you can place your bids or just simply share the message on your social network, to help spread this item and the event.
