Community Work
Waterloo
Commissioned as a celebration of the coastal Merseyside town and its community garden. Designed with an eye on Vintage 1950s postcards, the Waterloo mural nods to the area’s natural beauty and industrial present. It also features a tribute to well-love local publican Sam Mercer.
No Fresco Yo! x Waterloo Amateur Boxing Club
Waterloo ABC do sterling work training boys and girls in the local community, but they had a visibility problem. Housed in an early 19th century red brick pump house - with no windows - meant that new visitors often had an issue finding them.
The square(ish) panels on the outside of the building lent themselves perfectly to the idea of boxing rings, in which sit the individual initials of the club.
Nowadays, everyone knows where they are.
Dom Phillips
Painted for Dom Phillips, who was murdered in Amazon whilst writing a book on how to save it from destruction. It overlooks the Wirral where he was born.
No Fresco Yo! x Kings Leadership Academy
This was a brilliant job, that began with a lecture to pupils about the history of hip-hop and graffiti’s role in spreading a vibrant message of colour and community. The pupil’s parliament chose the final design from 3 sketches and were further asked to participate by choosing imagery that they thought represented the school’s ASPIRE maxim.
The second ‘wall of fame’ will be added to each time a school team does well.
All this was undertaken with the aim of empowering pupils to have an input on their own environment.
