We’re thrilled to share Julia Allum’s striking new mural, commissioned to celebrate the heritage of Wymondham in Norfolk.
Depicting the town’s landmarks and history, this was wonderful project that Julia loved working on from the original conception to the final painted mural and has resulted in a vibrant piece of public art that is bringing joy to residents and visitors to the town.
Inspired by her South Asian roots, The Bright Agency artist Kushiaania painted a mural in Shoreditch, illustrating how climate change affects the people who grow and pick the tea we all love to drink every day.
Climate change really started to show its face this summer and has tested us all with the high temperatures, drought and wildfires. Kush wants to raise both her voice and awareness for the workers in India plucking the tea leaves.
Even though the warning signs of the climate crisis have been clearer than ever, the government still hasn’t taken action. This is what inspired Kush to paint the mural in Shoreditch. Go and check it out at 1 Quaker Street near Boxpark!
Eoin has teamed up with advertising agency 72 & Sunny in Amsterdam to create a poster for Footlocker for a celebration of the iconic store from the 1980’s to present day - 2020’s. The brief was to create a predefined casted personality for each decade wearing some key trainers of the time.
After much fine tuning we arrived at a stunning final artwork - part from the usual social media, this will be painted in selected locations as a mural in London, France and Italy.
Laura brought the wildness of the inside to the outside in this exciting project for Dublin Zoo’s Rainforest House.
Working with Bright design agency Laura illustrated several large scale pieces as well as infographics to decorate and inform visitors. With interactive elements and displays, Laura’s distinctive style unified the various elements of the project and created a beautiful environment for the reinvention of the Rainforest House. Her work now adorns the walls of the house itself, internal elements and branded materials as well as glass decals for the animal enclosures. The house has a living rainforest inside where visitors can immerse themselves with the inhabitants!
The mural for the exterior of the building, illustrated by Laura, was brought to life on the walls themselves by mural artist @wallartbyalexandra

Hannah Bailey was commissioned to illustrate some gigantic murals by the Star of the Republic Museum, Texas. Read on to find out how she approached this mammoth task, complete with life sized chickens!
"I was absolutely delighted to be asked to illustrate a set of murals for the Star of the Republic Museum, Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas - a big moment in my career in more ways than one! This was my first mural and a whopper, my illustrations covering the length of 2 x 14m long walls inside the family gallery.
It was a huge challenge to scale up my work, calling for my rusty maths skills, a big scanner, huge brushes and some giant tracing paper. I loved the chance to create big textures and splash the ink around. To give an idea of the proportions - the chickens in the mural are lifesize!
To make sense of the huge space, I broke it down into lots of scenes, and joined them all up. From one end to the other, the mural shows a 19th century Texas landscape, moving from farmers cottages and livestock to a market town with stores, carts and stalls, and an old well. I wanted to capture the essence of the townspeople through their bits and bobs - as if they had put down their things and gone inside for lunch.
Thank you to the Star of the Republic Museum and Gallagher Design for inviting me to be a part of this project, to the Artworks and Tom at Mendola for all your hard work."
