Newcastle's Mitch Revs is often brightening the world around him one painting at a time but this weekend he is going one step further.
His Newcastle 500 themed artwork commissioned by Fox Sports will be auctioned off at the end of the three-day extravaganza in aid of families affected by the recent NSW and Queensland bushfires.
"Fox Sports were looking to collaborate with me to somehow raise funds for the bushfire appeal," he said.
"I think any Australian would agree that we always support our own.
"For me to be able to create an artwork with Fox, to be able to help, is amazing."

The highest bidder at the end will get to take the brightly designed artwork home.
On Saturday afternoon, $4200 was the highest bid with just over 24 hours remaining on the clock.
The artwork features likenesses of Mark Richards, Julian Wilson, Jamie Whincup, Danny Buderus, and Craig Lowndes, among other popular identities.
