For a few years I've been using my creative side to help me manage a chronic pain condition and I've always enjoyed drawing animals. After watching yet another wildlife documentary and thinking what could I do to help. I came up with the idea for Superheroes For Wildlife. A place for me sell my art and do what I've always wanted to do and help wildlife conservation.<\/p><blockquote><p>\"Wildlife conservation at the heart of our business.\"<\/p><\/blockquote><p>So with zero budget and only a few digital drawings I started Superheroes For Wildlife and at the end of last year I created this website dedicated to sustainable clothing and art prints. With sustainability at the heart of Teemill's production values I felt it was right to go forward with this new branch of my endeavour.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/piunirjchofg731pprjpjeuj7jkt0hc2iun16bgwvwk8lhpo.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"90742061\" \/><br \/>(<a href=\"https:\/\/superheroesforwildlifeteemill.com\/product\/superhero-for-wildlife-t-shirt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Superheroes For Wildlife Logo T-shirt<\/a>)<\/p><blockquote><p>\"100% certified organic cotton, powered by renewable energy\"<\/p><\/blockquote><p>All clothing is made from 100% certified organic cotton in factories powered by renewable energy. Each product is printed on demand only, as each order arrives in our store. So there is no stock waste and we only create products for you when you need them. I dislike plastic packaging so all orders are sent out in plastic free packaging. Teemill even use Remill\u00ae technology so old products can be recovered and remade.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/irw4hjofcxkbuyzqdkxzvgocnnpszwa3pmtqzgjn7ju9ydum.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"90742099\" \/><br \/>(<a href=\"https:\/\/superheroesforwildlifeteemill.com\/product\/giraffe-stars-t-shirt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giraffe T-shirt<\/a>: Original giraffe drawing on a starry background taken from one of Andy's photos during a visit to Chester Zoo)<\/p><blockquote><p>\"Sustainability matters to us.\"<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Superheroes For Wildlife art prints come on premium quality 300gsm, 100% recycled heavyweight stock, meaning it\u2019s made from responsibly sourced materials that comply with a wide range of social and environmental standards.
