A Lincoln-based artist, photographer and illustrator is auctioning off a painting of Lincoln City’s management duo Danny and Nicky Cowley for charity.
Andrew Bailie, who has lived in Lincoln for nearly 10 years, aims to conduct the sale via an eBay auction in the coming weeks and will post updates here.
The 33-year-old hopes his Art Attack-like new Youtube vlog on The Spire Gallery YouTube Channel will get people involved in art.

Episode One of his new vlog is entitled ‘The Road To Wembley – Lincoln City FC’ and shows him creating the picture of the brothers.
Andrew will split the money between Lincoln City Football Club’s four charity partners – LCFC SET, Lincs2Nepal, St Barnabas Lincoln Hospice and PCUK – so long as the final figure allows this.
He told The Lincolnite: “It was only fitting to dedicate the first episode to the Imps due to their success over the last couple of years and how Danny and Nicky have driven that, which in turn has really increased the love the city has for the team.
“A portrait felt like a lovely gesture (who knows, it would be great if it found a home at Sincil Bank) and due to possible local interest in a piece such as this, I’m hoping a little bit of that love can be directed to helping the charities that the club supports.”

Witnessing the Red Arrows in Lincolnshire and beyond is a thrilling experience for many, with their striking red, white, and blue smoke trails decorating the sky.
Corporal Phil Dye said he has had the “privilege of taking videos and photographs from the backseat of the Red Arrows Hawk T1 aircraft” for just over a year in his role as Visual Communicator for the Red Arrows.
While incidents in local games may be rare, the voices of three referees in Lincolnshire underline a stark reality — the need for more action and enhanced education.
The issue is very topical this week after Tom Foley’s decision to step away from international match officiating for the foreseeable future after a “torrent of criticism and abuse,” but will continue to officiate in the Premiership.
