Iāve just completed my first non-Waterstones-related mural, and personally itās one of my favourites!
Oscar & Rosieās is a pizza company that has recently moved from a local bar to its own restaurant in the centre of Nottingham. Ā It has a lovely authentic feel and absolutely no pretension to speak of, so it was a lovely place to work in. Ā Also theyāve promised me a free pizza and drink later so Iām literally so excited about finishing work at 7 tonight.
Apparently kids use the bottom of the blackboard to draw on all the time so I left it blank - Ollie the owner said that my design was more likely to last if I did so too. Ā But, saying that, apparently theyāre getting loads of random people to come and do temporary murals to keep the place feeling fresh and interesting, which is an idea I love. Ā Thereās nothing worse than a chalkboard drawing thatās been there for ages and has been leaned/rubbed/sneezed on, and this place is such a lovely family environment that it needs something ever-changing (in my humble opinion).
So hurray for my first mural! Ā And hooray for getting paid in pizza, probably my second favourite thing to be paid in!
