| | Dear U2 Fan,
Bono's illustration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, originally created for the June cover of The Atlantic, is now set to raise vital funds to buy ambulances in Ukraine.
From today, in the U2.com store, the illustration features on a limited-edition collection of t-shirts, hoodies and a lithograph – with all net profits from the sale of these items going to UNITED24, the official fundraising platform of the government of Ukraine.
View the collection here.
UNITED24's work includes providing life-saving equipment for Ukrainian medical workers and the organization has chosen to direct funds raised by this special collection specifically for purchasing ambulances.
Earlier this year, The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg asked Bono to create a portrait of President Zelenskyy for a story about how the outcome of the war in Ukraine will affect democracy around the world.
Bono created the illustration of the President and placed it against a backdrop of the iconic yellow and blue in Ukraine's flag, along with a quote from the article.
"The choice is between freedom and fear." - President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Read more about how The Atlantic cover came together, Bono’s thoughts on coming up with the illustration and how he first learnt to draw and paint from his father. Best Wishes,
The U2.com Team |
