We are 3dtotal, a creative and trailblazing publisher of high-quality art, craft, and sustainable-living books. One year ago we had an idea, to see if a group of the world’s top artists could create a single collaborative art piece, that could be sold and enjoyed by many, with all of the profits going to protect and save the rainforests. After many months of hard work, we would like to present Earth Draw, an artistic fundraising campaign through which all profits go to the innovative rainforest charity Cool Earth.

As part of this campaign, five extremely talented artists, Lois van Baarle, Tran Nguyen, Yuumei Wenqing Yan, Kerby Rosanes, and Audra Auclair, will each complete a section of artwork to create a limited edition piece. This is an exclusive print that will only be available to purchase through this campaign in November.

We are so grateful for the hard work and enthusiasm that these artists have put into supporting this project and fantastic cause. Without their help, this wouldn't have been possible. Thank you!

There are 4 perks available, with 3 named after the portion of forest your pledge could protect.

The £20 (1/4 of an acre) reward is a high-quality, limited edition print featuring the collaborative artwork of the amazing artists supporting this project.

The £34 (1/2 an acre) reward features the same artwork, but will also include your name, along with the names of other backers of this reward, printed in a clear gloss around the world.

The £67 (1 acre) reward offers the same poster, but features your name, along with the names of other backers of this reward, in gold foil as well as featuring further gold details added to the print.

Hopefully the campaign will be supported by many backers, which will mean there are a lot of names to appear on the 1/2 acre and 1 acre prints. If this is the case, we will divide the names across multiple prints in that category in order to maintain an appealing aesthetic. You will receive the print featuring your name.

The printing company that we have chosen to work with, Gomer Press, is certified with the Forest Stewardship Council and their paper is universally sourced from sustainable forests.

We are partnering with Cool Earth, the non-profit organisation that works alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation and its impact on climate change. Cool Earth are able to protect one acre of rainforest for just £60, so with your help we hope to be able to save hundreds, or even thousands, of acres of rainforest with this project.

“With half of the world’s rainforest lost over the past forty years, we need a new approach to conservation.The only way to halt destruction is to align the future of the rainforest with the people best placed to protect it. This means placing forest in the hands of the people who rely on its survival for their survival.” – Cool Earth

There will be some unavoidable fulfilment costs involved, but the artists and the 3dtotal team are working on this project as a not-for-profit so the majority of all proceeds can be donated to help save the rainforests. Product packaging is included in the shipping costs

The above breakdown of funds illustrates how much we can give from each sale if we print 1000 posters. We want to go beyond this though, as the more prints we produce the less each one will cost to manufacture, which will in turn mean we can give more of your pledge to Cool Earth.

To help promote the campaign and encourage the support of the artistic community 3dtotal have started a month long art challenge. We have set 30 themes which participants can use to inspire an original piece of art. We then encourage people to share their art online using the hash tag #EarthDraw2018. With each image shared we ask artists to mention and share our campaign, so the art community can come together to make a positive change on the environment.

We hope you'll consider supporting our mission to create art to create change!
