0 comment A TALENTED and inspirational 12-year-old is auctioning off his colourful artistic creations to raise money for young patients at Colchester Hospital.
\nNathan Jones started helping his son, Noah, paint on pieces of cardboard as a lockdown activity back in May.
\nNoah, who has cerebral palsy, epilepsy and hydrocephalus, is a keen artist and his dad decided to reach out on social media to ask artists from across the globe to consider collaborating with him.
\nThe family was overwhelmed with the response and Noah then painted a colourful background on to some card before the artist added their own signature stylings on top.
\nThe vibrant designs captured people\u2019s imagination and Noah\u2019s fame spread across the world. Noah's charity book for hospital
\nIn total more than 200 street artists and celebrities joined in with the project, including artists Ange Bell and Heath Kane and comedian Phill Jupitus.
\nNoah became better known as Background Bob and all of the work was brought together in a book of the same name.

\nIt sold out in record time, raising \u00a318,000 for Colchester and Ipswich Hospitals Charity, which will go towards the children\u2019s department at Colchester Hospital.
\nNow Noah\u2019s original works will be going under the hammer on auction site eBay to raise further funds for the charity, which supports NHS staff and services within the East Suffolk and North Essex Foundation Trust. Paint - REN NL and Background Bob's piece
\nNathan said: \u201cWe would love to say a huge thank you to all the artists who contributed to this wonderful project, those who have helped along the way, as well as all the supporters.
\n\u201cYou now all have a chance to own a beautiful part of our project, please bid generously, it\u2019s all for a great cause and the funds raised will really change people\u2019s lives.\u201d
\nThe work going under the hammer features everything from wildlife, superheroes and Lego to artistic tributes to famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa and Girl with a Pearl Earring.
\nUsing a palette of vibrant colours Noah creates bold, confident abstract shapes which artists then add to on top.
\nThe works have been such a success they were displayed at Colchester art gallery Firstsite in the autumn and Noah now has almost 5,000 followers on his Instagram page. Wildlife - Noah and Holly Mia Saunders collaborated on this piece
\nMandy Jordan, associate director of charity and voluntary services at the foundation trust, said: \u201cWe would like to say a huge thank you to Noah and his family, as well as the artists who gave up their time to contribute to this fantastic project, for choosing to support our charity.
\n\u201cEvery single piece which Noah and his collaborators have created is vibrant and unique and will make a stunning addition to any home.
\n\u201cWe\u2019d encourage art lovers everywhere to log on to next week\u2019s auction and take the chance to secure some truly original artwork which is guaranteed to raise a smile.\u201d Noah's charity book for hospital
