UPDATE: After a lot of frenzied painting on the 14th we managed to raise a staggering £1472 for the Red Cross Ukraine appeal. I am astonished and still thrilled we raised so much. THANKS to all who donated and cheered on, and bought coffee…. It was the best year ever. Pleased to see Ukraine win n all, closely followed by Sam Ryder who appears to be the nicest man in the universe.

This year’s promo video is now uploaded… because… it’s back! For the ninth year running – #livedraw Eurovision will take place Saturday 14 May. I paint the acts in real time – and you could win a painting by donating. All the info is on the 2022 Justgiving page.

To follow the action go to Twitter.

I will also be a guest on Monocle 24 Radio this Saturday at 9.20am GMT to talk about #livedraw.

You can also “buy me a coffee” to help towards the materials and postage costs.
