John Renshaw (b.1946). King of Spades. Gouache, crayon, pencil. Signed under mount. 29.7 x 21cm. I happened to receive a very unexpected (and persuasive) letter from Baroness Floella Benjamin inviting me to participate - how could one refuse Coincidentally, I also happened to know of someone awaiting a kidney transplant at the time. My playing card design for ‘The King of Spades’ was selected intuitively and simply resulted in an image that referenced both a king and a spade! I wanted to support Transplant Links because I considered the statement appearing on the project web-site appeared to say it all. ‘…what TLC do is allow patients who have been dealt a rough hand the chance to change their life for the better through transplantation'.

Martin Ridgwell. 4 of Diamonds, 'Diamond Geezers'. Drawing, graphite with body colour. Signed under mount. 29 x 21cm. Framed. Martin Ridgwell is an Artist and Printmaker based in London. Ridgwell was elected a member of The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in 2007. I liked the concept of The Deck of Cards collaboration, and the charity itself does incredibly important work so I was glad to sign up. However, the main reason why I came on board is because it was Baroness Floella Benjamin asking me if I would like to consider taking part, so what choice did I have I mean this Floella Benjamin we're talking about ! If she asks you to do something - you do it. As soon as I read the brief, I immediately knew that I wanted the Three of Diamonds for my card, as in my head I had already conjured up the image of three young guys lounging in a rather louche way on a bed, playing with trinkets from an old jewellery box. Much to my vexation, someone else had got there before me and had already swiped it for themselves, so I quickly snatched the Four of Diamonds before anyone else could get to it - but wondering all the time how on earth I was now going to fit four stripling lads onto a piece of paper the size of a playing card Turns out all I had to do was ask them to all budge up on the bed a little bit and there was room everyone. Looking back at my original thumb nail sketch I'm surprised to see just how close it is to the finished art work, the image and composition must have been very clear in my head at the time. Where the actual idea for the image came from is not so clear, but I liked the incongruity of these four rather unwholesome characters lying on satin sheets and draping themselves in jewellery. I've been meaning to play with this theme since I last watched the movie sweet Charity, where the film's heroine ( an employee at a dance hall where clients pay to spend time with her ), encounters a famous film star who takes her back to his glamorous apartment. She cant believe her luck, and wishes her little gang of co-workers could see her now in the lap of luxury. So I guess that's basically where the germ of the idea came from for my drawing, just wanting to see how my ruffians would fare in a more glamorous setting. Obviously they're taking to it very well and that in turn led to the title of the piece, what else but Diamond Geezers.Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price.

Vanessa Gardiner (b.1960). 7 of Diamonds, 'Godrevy Point 2017'. Acrylic on paper. Signed verso: 'Godrevy Point, Acrylic on paper, Vanessa Gardiner, 2017'. 21 x 15cm. Framed. Vanessa Gardiner was born in Oxford in 1960 and studied Fine Art Painting at Central School of Art and Design in London. Her distinctly linear, geometric style of painting is inspired by the elemental coastal features of cliff and sea. She says of this painting of Godrevy Point in Cornwall:I went there for the first time last year, to discover for myself this darkly slated promontory, ending with a small island bearing a lighthouse. With its deep turquoise inlets and precipitous cliffs, there are certain echoes of the architectural formations that I know so well up the coast at Bostcasle, yet excitingly it also offers new configurations of shape and structure. She has had solo exhibitions since 1991 in London and her work is held both in private and public collections worldwide. I was particularly drawn to the innovative idea of using a pack of cards chosen for the Transplant Links auction this year and it struck me as an interesting quandary to try to incorporate a playing card it into my work, especially as it is not something I’ve done before. The dramatic cliffs at Godrevy Point in Cornwall is a coastline I’ve been working from for a while, and so when I was invited to participate I was intrigued to see if I could use a vertical image of the landscape into the design.I’m delighted and honoured to be able to help TLC; since participating in the auctions, I’ve discovered more and more about the charity’s amazing achievements and it’s a real pleasure to be involved in this way.

Katie Ponder (b.1991). Queen of Diamonds. Digital collage. Signed under mount. 41.1 x 29.7cm. Framed. Katie Ponder is a multi-award winning artist. She graduated in 2014 from Falmouth University receiving a 1st class BA with honors in illustration. She studied at foundation level at Camberwell University of the arts in 2011. Katie was the winner the AOI Book Award for new talent in 2014 and in 2017 she was shortlisted for the Folio Society Award, and winner of the House of Illustration People's Choice Award. In October 2017 Kate was the winner of the Glyndebourne Art Award and her work was used as the cover of the Glyndebourne 2017 On your programme.

Katie's inspirations include Stravinsky, Joni Mitchel, Coco Rosie, Audrey Niffenegger, Poppy (Katie's cat), ballet and yoga. I was delighted to be able to contribute to help TLC - not only is it a worth while cause but I thought the idea of curating a deck of cards in this way was a really inspired idea. I am excited to see all the different designs together. I love playing with symmetry in my work. Working with symmetry and faces looking at each other is something I often do and this fitted in nicely with the traditional layout for card designs. I wanted to do my own modern take on a traditional playing card. I am proud to support Transplant links through contributing my illustration. I really admire how it’s a charity that not only provides life saving treatments, it also educates and enables doctors in deprived hospitals to develop their own skills to be able to treat their patients. I am pleased to think that money raised through the auction will help empower doctors to help their future patients and save many lives.Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price.

Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS (b.1946). 9 of Clubs, 'Keep Counting'. Black pen on paper. Signed under mount: 'Nine of clubs by Joanna Lumley'. 20.8 x 14.6cm. Joanna Lumley OBE FRGS was born in Kashmir and brought up in Hong Kong and Malasia until she moved to the UK. After school, she was a model in the Swinging Sixties but only achieved her aim to become an actress when she was 21. Untrained, she somehow managed to slither into the profession and has appeared in countless films, television shows and plays, including Pink Panther and Coronation Street, James Bond and Chekhov, New Avengers and Oscar Wilde and Absolutely Fabulous. She has made fifteen travel documentaries, the most recent being made in India. She is married and has one son and two granddaughters and lives in London. Joanna Lumley: It is always exciting to be asked to do something you have never done before for a charity that you feel deserves all the help it can get. When TLC ( fabulous name, by the way: exactly what it says on the tin, tender loving care supporting Transplant Links Community) asked me to design a playing card I felt as though I had won a prize. The chance to sit and think and plan and draw, and all for something as fine as TLC, was all I needed to put the 'Gone Fishing' sign on the door.Before I started my artwork I chose the nine of clubs, for no other reason than nine is a lucky number for cats and the symbol for clubs looks a bit like an oak leaf. Then I examined a traditional nine of clubs playing card and guess what: it is perfect, and cannot be improved.Oh.So then I thought of chaps sitting by candlelight in a cave who must recognise the suit at once ( hence big symbols) and who could read the number nine even if they were Roman centurians. Then I got a bit arty and tried to make it look like a fabric pattern. Then I stopped and left it looking a bit scruffy and unpolished, confident that it won’t be reproduced, and will never muck up a game of poker when the stakes are high.Everything about TLC is music to my ears. What they achieve through their training and skills and application and sheer doggedness is exactly what life is about: never stopping trying to make the world a better place for someone else. I bow my head to everyone on the team. Kidney transplants are a win-win solution to so much suffering and sorrow, and I send TLC all the loving support and admiration in the world.Please note that final invoices will include buyers' premium at 27% (inclusive of VAT) added to the hammer price.

A George III mahogany serpentine fronted card table, with green baize lined interior and raised on moulded legs. Width 82.5 cm. CONDITION REPORT: The table top generally faded with the exception of a centre square which has clearly had something positioned on it. There are numerous ink and watermarks and a lot of minor scuffs and scratches. There is a small timber loss to the rear left hand corner just above the hinge. There is a scuff to the front left hand top corner of the flap. The top is not warped when viewed from the front, there are however slight gaps when viewed from the side. The playing surface is in reasonable order with only minor splitting down the middle seam. The top of the bottom section of the inner top has a 1 cm section of crossbanded veneer missing. The hinges are original. The sides and front are in generally good condition as is the bottom moulding which is all present. All legs are in generally good condition with the usual nibbles and scuffs that one would expect. There is some evidence of old long gone woodworm to the softwood sections of the table top and to the rear fold out gates.
