I did a mural last year in November for a bar in Chorlton, Manchester. The bar used to be called Abode, but got taken over, and then became The Gallery! But obviously they had nothing to claim their gallery name, so I got called in to 'start the art'.
It took me about 11 hours do in total, and there was a slight delay as some arsehole thought it would be funny to graffiti on a bit of the wall I hadn't painted yet. There was one drunk guy who also could not understand what I was doing, that really describes the state of art in society these days. It is something, but come on man, it's not as if it really IS a deer, or it really IS some sort of crying monster.
I used marker pen for the outline, and acrylic fr the main body of paint. I wanted something that dried quick, usually I use oils but they are not suitable for walls!
And no, the bat was not done by me, the staff there use that poster to block unwanted eyes from seeing into the staff room.
I may add more photos of the work in progress at a later date.
Enjoy.
If anyone is interested in this mural and would like to discuss me doing something similar for you, get in touch!
