Redfield Mural Design

(click to view large)

A few months ago i posted an entry here about painting a new wall in Redfield. Some commissioned work, Xmas and some horrendous weather has delayed this project for a lot longer than i had hoped for but i am hoping to get going on this design in the next few weeks before i begin a new phase of work...

Updates here as soon as i have more news!

The Three Lamps Junction Illusion

Totterdown's gateway to Bath and Wells known locally as Three Lamps Junction.

Plenty of digital tinkering on this one, to the point that this location doesnt exist in reality...

An image that i caught a few weeks ago on a visit to family in Cornwall, a quick snap that i grabbed and momentarily lost amongst all the others from that weekend. Im so glad i found it again and had a few moments to give it a bit of post processing.
A very special photograph.

A New Wall for Redfield

This post will be the first in a series that will document a new project i am working on in my local community of Redfield in Bristol, BS5. I have had my eyes on a wall in a local car park for some year now. One of those walls seems to attract tags - big, blank and off of the high street, it currently sports lots of mismatching grey block cover-ups and a spliff smoking acid smiley face. This wall is a beauty and needs brightening up with something a little more challenging.

After a multitude of emails to various Council associated people, i have finally been given the green light to get painting this space and bring some much needed life to a grey space. My idea is to take influence from my regular strolls and cycles from the centre back home to St George and pay homage to the various areas i find interesting along the route...

Over the next few weeks ill be using this blog to update my progress from start to finish, from gathering the photographs, through the digital manipulation process, painting the wall and the final piece, ill post my progress up here for you to follow.

Ill be back soon...!

You can see the rest of the images from the show at www.acerone.org

Exhibition Countdown - 3 days

OK, so the countdowns posts didnt really work out due to extreme business and the pressure of painting from 8am-2am for the past week or so....

Its time for me to leave Bristol and head up to the Big Smoke - so very few, if any posts until after the show. I really hope to see some of you there!
