Wild Postcard Gallery 2021
Wild Postcard Gallery, is an online gallery open to all ages to create and submit Biro (ballpoint pen) drawings of their favourite wild animals. Part of Drawing for the Planet Artist and Founder Jane Lee McCracken's Where Did All the Animals Go? (WDATAG?) art and environmental education project, in partnership with international wildlife charity Born Free, this gallery was launched by Jane in 2019 at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art here. Find out how to submit your drawing below.
GALLERY COLLECTIONS
Since 2019 hundreds of wildlife drawings by children and adults have been created for the gallery with people from across the globe sending photographs of their drawings to be featured in the gallery. As the gallery has grown it can now be viewed in separate annual galleries. Scroll down this page to see all drawings created between 2019-2020.

GALLERY AIM
The aim of Wild Postcard Gallery is to spread the gift of drawing, using Jane's preferred medium, the humble Biro, and the beauty of wildlife far and wide, as well as nurturing emotional connections with vulnerable species to further help in their conservation: "if we care, we want to conserve". By making a drawing of a wild animal for this gallery and sharing it with friends and family or on social media, your drawing is not only helping to highlight the rich diversity of our planet's wildlife and the unique beauty of individual species but could encourage others to get involved in species conservation.
Enjoy drawing and some creative ‘you-time’. The next time you pick up your Biro, think of the animal you drew and how the world is a better place for its existence. Remember, EVERYONE, CAN DRAW!" Jane Lee McCracken

HOW TO SUBMIT
The concept of the online Wild Postcard Gallery is simple and open to all ages:
-
Pick up a ballpoint pen (or pencil / paint if you don't have a ballpoint pen), get creative and draw your favourite wild animal on a blank postcard, piece of paper or drawing surface
-
If you can't draw the animal in the wild use a found image as inspiration or draw from your imagination
-
Your drawing doesn't have to be photo-realistic, express yourself and enjoy drawing and being transported. We all have our own unique drawing styles which are all valid!
- Watch Jane's video below for drawing tips and wildlife inspiration
-
Send an image or scan of your drawing, your name, town and country to jane@janeleemccracken.co.uk for your drawing to be featured
-
Send your drawing as a gift to someone special to brighten up their day or put it in your window for your neighbours to enjoy
-
Spread the word and ask others to pick up a pen and make a drawing of their favourite wild animal for the gallery
OTHER THINGS TO DO:
Here are some things you can do to help wildlife:
-
Research your favourite animal and how you can further help with its conservation

The following Biro Drawing Workshop video made by Jane as a free resource features drawing tips and inspirational wildlife footage courtesy of Born Free.
THE DRAWINGS
The gallery displays Biro drawings submitted by artists of all ages from age 5 months upwards, depicting a wide array of species, including those very much ingrained in the human psyche such as tigers and elephants alongside lesser-known species such as the Spiderman agama lizard and the critically endangered Kakapo.
To date, more than 120,000 species have been assessed for The IUCN Red List and more than 32,000 of these species are considered to be threatened with extinction – 27% of assessed species. IUCN Red List
The IUCN (International Union for Conservation) Red List categories below are included in the titles of each drawing. Check out threatened species at iucnredlist.org
Jane and the Drawing for the Planet Team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to Wild Postcard Gallery and subsequently Where Did All the Animals Go? project.

GREAT NORTH MUSEUM: HANCOCK WORKSHOP
28 October 2021
As part of Great North Museum: Hancock's Marine Day, Jane was invited to deliver a drop-in wildlife Biro drawing workshop in Living Planet Gallery. Visitors, including children from age 2 upwards, parents, grandparents and guardians, created drawings of marine species some of which are critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable and near threatened such as the White Shark, Hawksbill Turtle and Galapagos Sea Lion.
Also included to draw in this workshop were some weird and wonderful sea creatures such as the Blue Sea Dragon, Peacock Mantis Shrimp, Pompom Crab, Sea Angel, Shame-faced Crab, Leafy Seadragon, Flamingo Tongue Seasnail, Yeti Crab, Bigfin Squid, Glowing Sucker Octopus, and a new species previously unknown to science, the Stingcat, discovered by Rosa.
WE NEED SHARKS!
Sharks are vital to the health of our oceans and the eco-systems they inhabit, yet around 100 million sharks are killed every year. Sharks are threatened by the global fishing industry, caught for their body parts and as bycatch by aggregating devices or illegal drift nets while fishing for other species, as well as hunting for sport, beach protection programs and pollution. Shark species have declined by 70% over the last 50 years. Every country has a role to play in shark conservation, ensuring ocean sanctuaries are created to protect sharks. Humans are guests in sharks domain yet our respect for and understanding of our hosts is often clouded by folklore and media misrepresentation. Many shark species are drifting towards extinction and we may soon lose these beautiful creatures from our oceans.
Show sharks some love:
- Don't use shark products
- Reduce your seafood consumption
- Recycle and reduce plastic consumption
- Tell others, including on social media, about the threats to sharks
- Donate to shark organisations

OCEANS WORKSHOP: RICHARD COATES PRIMARY
11 November 2021
Over the last six years Jane has donated an annual drawing workshop to Newcastle United Foundation (NUF) and schools they work with. This year, alongside NUF's Alex Curran, and as part of their commitment to Sky Ocean Rescue campaign she delivered two Oceans workshops to Year 4 from Richard Coates C of E Primary, Ponteland.
Jane was hugely impressed by the children's drawings skills astonishing drawings which they created within the 45 minute practical drawing sessions. All children excelled themselves, and Jane was particularly proud of Will and Anthony who thought they couldn't draw, but as she continues to emphasise, "everyone can draw"! Both Will and Anthony created amazing drawings. Jane would like to thank Headteacher Mrs Cape, Year 4 teachers Mrs West, Mrs Bray and Mrs Robinson, Alex Curran and all the young artists for highlighting the unique beauty of ocean species through their incredible drawings. We are sure you will enjoy this set of expressive drawings as much as we have:
