Scunthorpe artist offers free sketches of loved ones lost to COVID
Calvin Taylor Lee started drawing after his work as a wedding photographer was stopped due to the pandemic
An artist from Scunthorpe is offering free sketches of loved ones who've died from COVID-19 to families as a cherished memory of them.
Calvin Taylor Lee, who worked as a wedding photographer, started to do commissioned sketches after work dried up due to the pandemic.
After one family got in touch with Calvin to sketch their grandad who had passed away from COVID-19, he started to receive requests to draw more.
He's also sketched Grantham paramedic Tony 'Chadders' Chadbourne and his latest is Sir Captain Tom Moore who died from coronavirus on the 2nd February 2020.
He's now looking for more families to get in touch, saying:
"If I can complete a sketch in less than 20 minutes, I think I can do five in a day, and in a year I can do so many people."
