where celebs create animal-themed artwork to help save lives!
What's Draw for Paws all about exactly?
Rock Stars, Celebs & Motley Zoo go hand-in-hand!
You may have heard of Motley Zoo for pioneering backstage meet and greets with artists and the animals we’ve named after them! We play on the music theme to make animal welfare fun and empowering, rather than depressing and hopeless. Many awesome artists have helped represent our cause through these meetings and our message that they share with their fans (see some by clicking here.)
What we've come up with is a super cool, fun way to help us continue to give animals a second chance at life: a line of custom t-shirts designed by celebs, which will help us raise these crucial funds. Awesome, right!?
Here’s what we’re thinking:
-
You provide a signed drawing of your pet
or an animal of your choosing -
We’ll print your drawing on a shirt!
-
These shirts will be sold to raise funds which will
help Motley Zoo save animals!
Sound like something you're down with doing?! Rock on!
Keep on reading for the details / guide - it's pretty easy, and won't take up much of your hectic schedules whatsoever! The rescues (and all of the Motley Zoo Crew) thank you so much for your consideration!
Motley Zoo has become synonymous with the
backstage meet & greets, where we bring adoptable animals to meet celebs, rock stars and musicians! The celebs love having sweet fur-babies to love on, while getting ready to go on stage! Rob Zombie is shown here with adoptable roadie, Corey Taylor, at Pain In The Grass 2019.
Motley Zoo's Draw for Paws Guide:
Here’s how to make sure your effort pays off!
1. You do NOT have to have art talent to participate!!!
2. You can use any kind of medium: traditional or computer-generated.
3. Please video a portion of the time and effort it takes you to create the piece. Not only will this provide good marketing ops to share on social for us both, but it will authenticate the drawing.
4. Videos can be sent to info@motleyzoo.org (use a link share, large file transfer such as Hightail or Dropbox which offer free options, or worst case, a thumb drive).
Videos can be posted publicly (be sure to tag us!) before we actually have the art, but that does put a little more pressure on you to complete it. However, it also creates excitement and anticipation among your fans too…
Just don’t do the whole reveal publicly before we can launch the shirt design on our store!!

This doesn’t have to take more than a few minutes of your valuable time, but the impact it will make on rescue animals' lives will be ENORMOUS!
Thank you!
You Rock!!
