Pembroke Dock Skatepark

Painted this back at the start of the summer with young people from the Pembroke Dock Youth Centre. Freestyled the ideas on the day and had Craig Jenkins helping out on this one. As a result we did an extreme skateboarding octopus, skulls, a viking ship castle, and a flying boat........

The Gurnos Continued...

This was the result of 4hrs paintings with the local youths up on the Gurnos Estate, Merthyr Tydfil. The wall is part of a massive re-development to the shopping centre. The other wall we did is still in progress, should have completed shots up next week.... Weather permitting.......

Pontardawe Autumn Festival

Had a great day in the sun down in Pontardawe as part of their Autumn Festival at the Arts Centre. Managed to get 4 boards painted over the day with plenty of willing participants. This workshop was funded through Neath and Port Talbot County Council's Arts Development department.

Haverfordwest 900 years








Creative writing artist Cheryl Beer ran a session with the attendees of the Hive Youth Club to write some poems / songs celebrating 900 years of Haverfordwest. A line of their work "Always growing always living" was used as the basis for this project. This wall was the biggest I've run as a youth project and is a credit to the participants that we painted 200ft + in just 3 days! The project was funded by the Dyfed Powys Police,  local councillor Lyndon Frailing and Eddie's Pool Bar. 

Milford Haven Spokes Project




The plan was to re-decorate a battered shipping container that had been donated to Pembrokeshire Youth Services for their 'Spokes' bike project. These containers are never fun to paint due to the undulating surface, but the guys did a great job!

The Gurnos in progress....




This mural is celebrating the history of the Gurnos and Merthyr Tydfil. Work is due to be completed early November so watch this space for more photos....

Tenby Youth Centre






The young people from Tenby Youth Centre decided that the walls in their garden could do with a bit of a makeover and to tie in with an environmental theme we decided to bring some jungle...... and dinosaurs..... and Sharks. The Welsh Dragon was an existing mosaic that was transformed into a flag. Graffiti artist Craig Jenkins was also involved on this project.

Hubberston Youth Centre










Over the summer I ran a 2 day workshop at the Hubberston Youth Centre in partnership with Pembrokeshire Youth Offending service. The aim for the 2 days was to give the toilets a makeover and the photos above are the results.
