Norman Reedus’ Big Bald Gallery gives back
By Renee Hansen
Norman Reedus’ fans help Big Bald Gallery give to the COVID response fund.
The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus has always been a very giving individual. Reedus has oftentimes joined in giving to charitable causes. Many times, no matter how long he has stood taking photos with fans at events he will be sure to stay until each one gets their chance to meet and get their photo with him. He has supported many fundraisers for sick fans and often time donates portions of his book sales to different charities. Now, he has been using his Big Bald Gallery to help with COVID relief.
The Big Bald Gallary is Reedus’ gallery for his photography. He has published books that feature collections of his photography and has merch available with the Big Bald logo. He is currently donating ALL the profits of sales on the site to the COVID response fund and as of yesterday the total raised so far is $30,000.
Lancaster High School in South Carolina is one of the places that received donations of Big Bald masks. You can see the photos that were shared on social media below.

Big Bald Gallery has raised $30,000 and donated 1,000 masks each to the Coalition for the Homeless, LA Mission and Lancaster School.
His most recent book Portraits from the Woods is now available for pre-order with a ship date of October 31. This book contains many amazing portraits. Reedus has an eye for the strange and is great at capturing things in a different light. He once did a whole collection of photographs of roadkill on the back roads of Georiga. There is a darkness in his work but also light.
He oftentimes uses a blurred or grainy image to show something in a way no one else could. This new book features photos by many of Reedus’ fellow castmates and friends. Included in the photos are zombies, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Hideo Kojima, Lena Dunham, Diane Kruger, Dave Chapelle to name a few.
Remember that all the profits from the sale of any items on Big Bald Gallery will go to COVID relief. You can get your own Big Bald mask, t-shirt, beanie or postcard collection of his photographs.
