Murals, Signwriting,  Gold Leaf & Logo Design

Bringing the joy of colour and the power of language, l specialise in making places and spaces more attractive to look at, work from and live in. Working in the community, commercially and for residential clients, I design and hand paint murals and signage and design logos.

   My name is Austin. Hello. Thanks for stopping by. Please wipe your feet on the mat and feel free to have a nose around. 

I’m based in the North West but work nationwide. If you’d like a quote or to collaborate on a project, drop me a line. Check out my Instagram for the latest examples of my work.

I started writing graffiti and painting murals as a teenager in the late 1980s - back then it was called Vandalism and not Street Art. Over the course of a long and varied career, l have been lucky enough to have worked with Nike, Liberty of London, Sony, EMI, Mark Ronson, Sly & Robbie, Roots Manuva, Tommy Guerrero, Gorillaz and Banksy. 

   My work is rooted in pop culture and is a large scale celebration of it. An evocative use of language, bold fonts and vibrant colour palettes work harmoniously towards a singular goal: getting a message across in exactly the right tone of voice. My inspiration comes from the aesthetics of counter-culture youth movements, outsider art, vintage advertising, social protest and the lyricism of radical songwriters.

   

I believe that murals bring more to communities than advertising hoardings ever could. I know that good hand-painted signage puts a big heart into independent businesses and homes alike.
