Ormeau

It was great working with the Ormeau State School P&C to transform the schools tuck shop. The Tuckerbox is now equipped with new signs and a fun mural to brighten the space up.

Windaroo

I was kept busy with a few murals last year at Windaroo Valley State High and it was great to apply more new work recently.

Churchill

After completing numerous murals last September at Churchill State School I recently returned for another round. This time we focused on the hall completing artwork on the interior and the Kiss N Ride zone. The exterior was a challenge, not only due to its size and position in full sun but the windows, stairs and hot water unit informed the design to work with these elements as best as possible. I once again thoroughly enjoyed working with Churchill and I will have the Champions jingle in my head for some time!

Regents Park

To quote the words of a student “Without further ado I present to you the Regents Park State School Tuck Shop 2021” A huge thanks to the P & C and school staff who made this project happen. It was great to give the Tuck Shop and Uniform Shop a much needed make over and receive such positive feedback.

Emerald

The middle of summer didn’t deter me from hitting the road for another adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed kicking off the year with a project in Emerald, Central Queensland. I had completed the first stage last year and the Emerald State High School P&C were again great to work with. The designs were based from a stack of references submitted by students and I had a fun challenge of applying them. There’s always ideas I never would have thought of such as an electric guitar being consumed by tentacles.

I also made time to do a fresh piece at the BMX track while I was in the area.

Forest Lake

The Tuck In at Forest Lake State School received a make over this week. It was previously dark green so the bright colours and happy characters really lift the space. Frankie the falcon is a regular at Forest Lake so he also made an appearance. Thanks to the fabulous P & C for their hard work to see this project completed.

Churchill

It was a pleasure to complete several murals at Churchill State School. I was provided a brief for each site with the vision of transforming numerous dull areas into vibrant spaces. The mural designs incorporated the school motto, sports houses (Red Leopards, Green Cobras and Blue Foxes) and the Churchill Champions to encourage positive behaviour. As a contractor schools are great to work with for a multitude of reasons and Churchill is no exception. Thanks to all who made this project happen, making me feel welcome and trusting my expertise.

Shailer Park

Shailer Park State School has kept me busy over the years with numerous murals, design and signage projects. This time I was set the challenge to create a weather station and chalk boards to be used as learning tools for the younger students. There were a few elements that took some time to refine through the design and fabrication stages to ensure the product suits the application.

Tallebudgera

I recently answered the call to complete a couple of small murals at Tallebudgera Valley State School on the Gold Coast. The Tally Tiger is the coolest cat around so I developed a cartoon version of the school mascot to assist in reinforcing the school mantra and positive behaviour.

Windaroo

I had a very productive week at Windaroo Valley SHS. Having completed the first mural featuring Captain Green in 2014 it was great to return and brighten up a whole bunch of new sites.
