ANOTHER MURAL?!

Last week I partook in another huge vinyl wall art installation, but this time it was completely my choice in terms of what was being printed, which was way more exciting, but it still came with its challenges to overcome. At this point I’m feeling a bit like an expert in the field!

We hit a pretty worrying obstacle the week before the exhibition install as the provider of the prints we were originally going to use were no longer available, and due to this last minute realisation, we we’re at risk of blowing the budget to make sure it was printed in time. However, Michael saved the day with a stroke of genius as a vinyl wrapped lorry drove past, so he contacted a local provider of car wraps to see if they could help us out, and they did!

The vinyl arrived in two huge sheets which we had to collect and cut ourselves, but after 6 hours of cutting and sticking, (with the help of Michael and my amazing fellow studio school artists of course), it was done, and I couldn't be happier with it!!

I’ve shared a time-lapse progress video over on Instagram too if you want more visuals!

SCIENCE MURAL 🔬🧪🧑‍🔬

As well as teaching myself animation this year, I’ve also been working towards the goal of producing and printing BIG, so I was really excited when the opportunity popped up to create a mural for the science department at Lochinver House School 🔬🧪🧑‍🔬

Whilst not in my personal illustrative style, the opportunity to design, print, and instal this vinyl wall art was a HUGE learning curve, that I’m super grateful for!

I’ve worked on a large scale and in vinyl before, but from the designing, printing, and install, this mural gave me SO many annoying issues that I had to work around, however, despite the frustration, I am actually somewhat glad that these challenges did pop up, as I learnt a lot through them! I’m excited to have this new skill in my creative repertoire and I’m hoping to produce and instal similar pieces, more in my style, in the future. And hopefully next time, I’ll be all the wiser and next time it will be more of a seamless process!

I’ve also got a progress/timelapse video over on Instagram.
