My charity project this year was for Animals Asia, which is devoted to the welfare of wild and urban animals in Asia, and also works towards the conservation of endangered species. Because I love bears, I specifically worked with them on their Moon Bear Rescue campaign, where they save and support bears rescued from bile farms in China.
I've designed four products for the charity, and all the proceeds go towards helping the wonderful moon bears. The collection has just been launched in time for Christmas orders. My personal favourite is the ladies large scarf, featuring four lovely bears in pretty patterns,
and this is my most favourite bear of them all...
Moon bears have that name because of the distinctive crescent of lighter fur on their fronts. I've played with this 'moon' symbolism in my designs, placing the bears in the night sky, like constellations, for both the scarf and the foldable bag. 
I did a simple solitary bear on a moon for the ladies t-shirt, 
and a sequential drawing of a bear being let out of a cage to freedom, for the folding umbrella.
You can order everything from the Animals Asia website shop, and they'll ship worldwide. Help us save the moon bears ! 
It's such a lovely idea, it was super fun to see! I love the way they animated my illustration in their instagram feed too:

and I think I captured the atmosphere of the market quite well...
Hope you can pop down and see the market for yourself and buy a bag for charity!
