The Whale Wall

This piece on a factory wall in Wickham was painted predominantly with Georgia Lucy and Flower Power with guest appearances by Zackari Watt and Nick Mclean in 2008 in the lead up to the 12 hour music festival "Uncle Colin's Springtime Jamboree" held at the Morrow Park Bowling Club.  The Whale feature in the design was and is used as a projection screen for films and Vj during band rehearsals on the bowling green. Featured classics have included Mad Max (trilogy) Wizard of Oz, Freaks, and others.

more old stuff from 2008

This stitched panorama by Joanna Trainor pretty much gets it all, though there were free standing cowboy cutouts by Katebrady, which I unfortunately didnt get the pics of :(

The artists involved were Boo, Scurvey, Kate Brady, Kira Puru and Cogs

So the  very first mural project slapped together after being given the opportunity of a wall to paint whilst Boo was in town resulted in a panorama painted from paint suppliers' donated mistints and a whole lot of late nights. It was executed at Podspace Gallery at the Octapod, Newcastle, and sadly as gallery murals are, was painted over three short weeks later.  It was an experience.

Work in Progress......March 2008 to present and beyond

This wall at Local Cafe Rolador in Hamilton is a special thing, like an ambling house cat starting to stray.  Originally a few local artists Kate Brady, Bridie Watts and Cogs and Secret Senor started this  one in 2008, but it has since changed and morphed with the seasons, with welcomed and unexpected influences the piece is always evolving, now chiefly a Cogs project, there are comings and goings by Styx and Scurvy and other unknowns.....you, out there....Sign yer werk! .....you too Reichil....
