Murals
My murals are designed to look as though they've grown naturally and organically onto the wall and are designed to bring a lot of colour and good energy to wherever they're painted.
I like also use a lot of bright colours and bold shapes to make a good impact on the viewer and the environment, and I also try to capture the spirit and essence of the environment to make it not only uplifting but also quite personal for the people living or working in the space.
Each mural has it's own unique colour-scheme which we would work together to create before the painting begins...
The colour scheme can be based around a particular favourite colour you might have, or it could be based around colours in the surrounding environment, or if you're a business it could be based around the colours of your brand.

Once the colour scheme has been finalised work on the painting can begin and it usually takes between 2-4 weeks to complete depending on the size of the mural (a little bit less if it's a bit smaller and a little bit if the painting's quite large).
One of the things people enjoy is watching the painting as it comes together day-by-day. I've got quite an organic working process so watching each part of the painting come together can be quite an interesting viewing experience.
I also video my murals as they're being created and post them on my YouTube channel - so if you ever wanted to show your friends your mural being created all over again you can call up the video any time and watch it being made again from scratch :-D

Mural Styles
"Block Mural" Style
|
"Floating Mural" Style
|
I offer 2 different mural styles of mural:
The first is a series of block-like shapes that all interlink together in the painting and are surrounded by a black-and-gold border - I call these "Block Murals".
The second is a series of separate shapes some touching others, some on their own. There's plenty of negative space between the shapes and there's no border to the painting which makes the shapes look like they're floating across the wall. These are called "Floating Murals".
Block Murals look a bit more solid and intense, and Floating Murals are a bit more bright and breezy and are a bit more non-descript.
Sometimes people get a block mural painted and then have a floating mural created nearby to complement and contrast the main painting like in the photo below. This creates a nice effect because it can look like some of the colours have "escaped" the main painting :-D

Another option is the Door Mural.
The nice thing about Door Murals is that providing you can remove the door from its hinges you can take it with you if you ever have to move house. Of course it won't look quite the same as where it was originally created but it should still look pretty good even if you install it somewhere else...
Another nice thing about Door Murals is the way the shapes wrap around the edges of the door which gives the painting a nice 3-dimensional and interactive effect.

Detailing and Matching Furniture
I also offer the option of having other areas (or pieces of furniture) in the vicinity "detailed" in the same colour scheme.
So say for example you have a mural painted along your stairway, you may also like to have the end of one of the banisters detailed in a matching colour scheme (like in the photos below).
Or you may choose to get a piece of furniture painted in the same colours so that it looks like a part of the main painting has extended out onto the piece of furniture.
The nice thing about detailing to match a mural it that it gives you a matching set of items for no addition design cost i.e. the design cost for the detailed items is covered by the initial design work for the mural.
