What I did
Students picked characters and elements from their favourite books, which I then incorporated into the overall composition of the mural.
The wall was enormous, the students were amazing and played a huge role painting in the background and details. I simply could not have completed it without their assistance.
I have been working in the creative sector since studying graphic design and illustration at LJMU. I started out painting murals and attending graffiti events – working primarily with spray paint at that time. I would then progress to painting large scale corporate murals once I graduated and began a placement at Nonconform – where I still work today. In my university days, I was often told by tutors that ‘you would never work in an agency’
Hilariously I hated computers whilst at uni, and preferred making everthing from scratch. Even now I try to be as hands on as possible, but obviously using a computer is inevitable with the job I do.
Punk flower patterns I created for Scouse Flowerhouse a while ago. #illustration #design #wildflowers
