Bono

===Art===
Bono sketches and paints as a hobby. He developed his art style by drawing and painting on photographs, which he learned from his father who used to add colour to black-and-white [[instant film]] photographs of his wife. Describing Bono's interest in visual artwork, ''[[The Atlantic]]''{{'}}s editor-in-chief [[Jeffrey Goldberg]] said, "He just walks around with an [[iPad]] and sketches everything."<ref name="wp-2023-art">{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/05/01/bono-atlantic-magazine-illustration-zelensky/|title=Bono likes to sketch Atlantic covers, so the magazine hired him|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|first=Elahe|last=Izadi|date=1 May 2023|access-date=7 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230502013242/https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2023/05/01/bono-atlantic-magazine-illustration-zelensky/|archive-date=2 May 2023}}</ref>

Bono and his daughters Jordan and Eve provided original paintings for a 2003 book adaptation of ''[[Peter and the Wolf]]'', which accompanied a musical release by Bono's friend Gavin Friday and [[Maurice Seezer]]. A CD-book package was released in November 2003. Bono's paintings, which were inspired by the 2001 death of his father, were auctioned at [[Christie's]] in New York. Proceeds from the sales of the paintings and CD-book package benefitted the Irish Hospice Foundation.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Irish pals sink their teeth into 'Peter and the Wolf'|newspaper=[[USA Today]]|first=Mark|last=Memmott|date=31 October 2003|page=E04}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3606914/I-wanted-Dad-to-say-he-loved-me.html|title=I wanted Dad to say he loved me|newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|first=Neil|last=McCormick|author-link=Neil McCormick|date=20 November 2003|at=sec.

Bono's drawings of his musical influences were featured in a December 2022 issue of ''The Atlantic'' in an article profiling him. The following year, Goldberg commissioned him to illustrate the cover of ''The Atlantic''{{'}}s June 2023 issue for a story about Ukrainian president [[Volodymyr Zelenskyy]]. Bono's artwork, a line-drawing sketched portrait of Zelenskyy in the colours of the Ukrainian flag, was inspired by [[protest art]] and political posters.<ref name="wp-2023-art"/> U2 also sold merchandise featuring the portrait, including T-shirts, posters, and hoodies, with all proceeds benefiting [[United24]] to purchase ambulances for Ukraine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/2023/06/29/ireland-u2-sells-merch-bono-drawn-portrait-zelensky-ukraine-war/2901688074463/|title=U2 merchandise has Bono's art of Zelensky, raises funds for Ukraine ambulances|website=[[United Press International]]|first=Adam|last=Schrader|date=29 June 2023|access-date=19 August 2023}}</ref>
