This is my tiger mural, it took me 8 hours to paint including all the background and writing.
This is me next to the mural, here you can see the scale well. The head is about 6 foot tall.

i painted this mural at the Lewes Road Community Garden in Brighton. The site used to be an Esso garage, hence the Tiger.

Here is a close up of the tiger, still not quite finished. i painted this mural using a mix of masonry paints and acrylics so that it lasts longer.

Here the tiger is almost done, no whiskers yet though and the bottom of the background isn't done yet. usually i would get all the back ground done first but on the textured pebble dash surface i was worried about runs and having to paint it again!

This is about an hour and a half into painting. The wall had a pebble dash surface so i couldn't sketch out the design like i usually do. i went straight in with paints free hand... which was quite scary but i'm glad i just got on with it.

This is the wall before i started.

Army Sunrise

Hi everybody, i've been really busy lately so i havn't uploaded any pics for a while! This mural is of an army camp at sunrise, i drew inspiration from a photo from a real army camp photograph. The mural was painted mainly with dulux imulsion (customers preference) and it covers one wall.

The mural was painted for a little boy who lives locally and who's dad is in the army. The idea for the silhouette style came from a desire for the mural not be outgrown after a few years like for instance Thomas The Tank Engine or Bob the Builder would be. It took a day and half to paint and cost £360.

watch out soon for new pictures, over the next week i will be completing a massive mural of a Tiger which is the first mural i have attempted on an outside wall! It's actually going really well but there is still a bit to do so i'll keep you posted! Also over the next couple of weeks look out for a star trooper in action!

Here is a picture of one of the latest pieces i have been doing

Kung Foo Panda

This canvas was painted for a little boy who wants to be Kung fu Panda! It is his favourite film and he was really pleased.

The canvas is 2ft by 3ft, painted using acrylics.

Chavy Hercules

This is an old secondhand concete statue of Hercules. I sketched out an adidas tracksuit on the statue,

Then i got to work with acrylic paints putting the tracksuit on him.

You may not be able to see properly because of the small photos, but there is minute zip and elastic detail. To finish the statue i put the adidas stripes down the side and painted the logo on.

The statue is about two foot tall, it was incredibly fiddly to do but i think it turned out really well. I like the idea as it's ironic, you have a classic old design statue wearing a chavy outfit. Watch this space for lots more designs.
