The artist behind the artwork on Ladyhawke's eponymous debut album is auctioning off a painting to help victims of the Haitian earthquake.

Artist Sarah Larnach's sister Emily Sanson-Rejouis, her husband and three daughters are in Haiti right now and she says only Emily and one daughter have been confirmed alive.

Selling the item on eBay, she wrote: “I am auctioning an original painting from the Ladyhawke album/singles for charity, to assist in Haiti.

“This is the first time a piece of artwork from my Ladyhawke work has come up for sale, so its a rare opportunity to help, and to own something that would normally be difficult to get your hands on. Pip Brown and Sarah Larnach will also sign a copy of the single (Paris Is Burning) and album where it appears, as well as writing a personal letter of thanks to the buyer.

The artwork is a watercolour painting of two cats.”

You can place a bid for the painting on eBay right now.
