Robert Pattinson's artwork reaches $3000 + story and fan pictures with the famous home plate

Robert Pattinson's artwork reaches $3000 + story and fan pictures with the famous home plate

By now, you guys know all about Rob's Unfinished City (HERE) and have seen more pics (HERE).

Something else that's awesome is the current bid: $3000! Click HERE if you got a credit card and know how to use it before Aug. 31st. ;)

The popularity of Rob's artwork is not too surprising for us but it's taken the Home Plate Project team by surprise and made them see Rob and his fans in a new light. It's exciting to see something Rob contributed his rarely shared artistic talent to making such a mark. Another fun thing has been the email conversations. I wanted to share a specific one. 

Cory, from the HPP crew, emailed us a story that came in an hour after a reader, Denise, sent in the pictures of her night at a particularly special ballgame in Arizona. From Cory:
Quick story to share.  We had a family attend tonight's D-backs game and said they purchased tickets just so their daughter could see Rob's plate.  We decided not to initially display it since the bid is so high--more of a security issue than anything else.  So, we retrieved the plate and they came back in the 3rd inning.  The Mom asked if the daughter could hold it and take a photo.  We respectfully declined to have her hold it just in case it was dropped (or someone runs off with it), so one of our team members held it while the daughter got up as close as she could with pride. 
The power of Rob led a family to buy tickets to our game so their daughter could lay eyes on one of his creations.  Not too shabby. 
Enjoy your weekend...
The power of Rob :)

Hope the DR enjoys the weekend as well. Hope you're proud to be a Rob fan like Denise. And I hope you're excited for that awesome guy to own it on Monday and through the week as he promotes the US release for a film he's especially proud of.

Rob is a giver and this time, he's giving back to the Arizona Diamondbacks through their charity project, Home Plate Project. Click HERE if you missed our first post explaining the cause but here's a quick recap on Rob's involvement, along with a couple more details:
  • Rob's assistant, Jeff,  who knows one of the HPP team members, asked Rob to donate to the Home Plate Project and Rob was more than excited to do so. 
  • The home plate was shipped to Rob and was then sent back about a month ago.
  • Rob created a one-of-a-kind, art piece, sketched in pencil and titled it Unfinished City.
  • The artwork is on a legitimate, wooden home plate that has been painted white. 
  • Rob's plate is being displayed in Arizona with the CEO of the Diamondbacks, Derrick Hall's home plate donation
  • While bidding was at $150 less than 24 hours ago before the project was spread through the fandom, it is currently at $2525 and rising! Rob's plate is also currently the highest bid plate.
  • Click HERE to bid! Bidding ends Aug. 31st.
The Home Plate Project team sent over some better images of Rob's donation as well as the autographed photo that is included in the bid. They will see if they can gather more information about Rob's inspiration but they had this to say: "We're just thankful and grateful that he stepped up like he did and the finished product that you see is from his hands and vision."

We're grateful and thankful, too, that Rob has shared another side of his many talents and for a worthy cause, Ozanam Manor. :)

It was only a matter of time before RenaissanceRob shared his artistic side again on canvas...er....home plate.

Is your heart swelling yet? Wait...there's more!
I reached out to one of the organizers from Home Plate Project (@homeplateprojec) and Tim gave me more information about this awesome, one-of-a-kind, artpiece by Rob!
  • Rob drew the artwork by pencil on a real, wooden, home plate. The plate was painted white and you can see the smudge marks by Rob from the pencil. 
  • Rob drew the artwork about 6 weeks ago. 
  • Rob's assistant, Jeff, knows one of the team members and asked Rob to participate. Rob was excited to do so. 
  • The home plate by Rob also comes with an autographed photo that Rob gave to help with legitimacy. 
  • The home plate is currently being displayed at the Arizona Diamondbacks HQ alongside the Diamondbacks' CEO, Derrick Hall's home plate contribution. Tim said they wanted to display the plates that would get the most attention for the cause. :') 
Tim is sending over more photos of Unfinished City as well as a close up of the autograph and the signed photo from Rob. He was a really sweet guy and said that he hoped the rare artwork from Rob would help their cause. Little did they know the power of Rob was about to be unleashed ;)

Want to know more about the Home Plate Project?
The D-backs Give Back League is a program designed for Arizona Diamondbacks employees to contribute toward the community. We are an independent co-worker coalition, acting beyond any scope of employment with the Arizona Diamondbacks.  
The Home Plate Project is a fundraiser for local non-profits. The idea of the program is to get members of the Arizona community to decorate home plates that will be provided to them. The plates will then be put on-line here for auction. Participants are encouraged to decorate their plate any way they like that shows their personality, their company’s personality, mission, what they do or just any fun idea they choose. They may paint the plate, attach crafts, apply a photo or again; any way they want to creatively use the space. There is one rule; be creative!!!  
For the first year, the Home Plate Project will benefit Ozanam Manor. Ozanam Manor is a local non-profit that helps people with transitional housing. They specialize in helping people over 50-years old who are homeless, or other people with a handicap due to illness or disease, regain their pride and get back on their feet. Many are U.S. Veterans. The money raised from this project will help renovate areas of their building, which was built in the 1930s, and other needs like a storage shed. Ozanam Manor has a success rate of 75% and they need more funding and volunteer help to continue their impressive success rate. Our team will be hands-on helping with projects or other ways like running a “Toiletry Drive” so residents have the things we take for granted each day. You can learn more about this impressive organization by clicking HERE.
Do you love Rob more or what??? Thank you, lifeloveartfilm, for the heads up on this awesome Rob news!
