A local illustrator is selling limited edition prints of Horsham firefighters to raise money for charity.
Fynn Dodd, a graphic designer and illustrator from Horsham, has been working over the summer to turn photographs of Platinum House – Horsham’s new fire station and training centre - and its firefighters into one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
Fynn is a student at Falmouth University and originally created the artwork as part of his university modules. However, after learning about the work of The Fire Fighters Charity, he decided to sell a limited quantity of the designs in aid of the charity.
One of the prints includes a portrait of John Macfarlane – a much-respected Station Manager who passed away in 2013 after 46 years of service. John had a particular affinity to Horsham, having lived and worked in the town his entire life.
The road leading up to the newly built Platinum House was named Macfarlane Way in his memory.
Other prints include illustrations of Platinum House and the equipment firefighters use. The prints are now available to purchase through eBay with 70% of the proceeds going to The Fire Fighters Charity.
Speaking of his work, Fynn said: “During my project I researched Fire Fighters Charity and how they have helped firefighters both locally and nationally. On completion of my project, I decided to organise a fundraiser in order to give back to the men and women that helped me with my project, as well as supporting such a fantastic charity.”
