Daycare Sporty Monster Mural

As I mentioned in my last post I’ve been busy painting monsters around the new daycare in Inglewood called Kids on Beaufort.

These last monsters were also outside in the fun sporty area of KOB Daycare so we stuck with a bit of a sporty theme. I had a great time turning a drainage pipe into a basketball hoop for the monsters to show off their basketball skills on and I painted a giant instant tree… much less maintenance than a real one especially when it’s located on a roof.

Daycare Mural

My monsters have escaped from 140 and taken up residence at Kids on Beaufort daycare in Inglewood.

There’s a new daycare in town and it’s huge and amazing! the lovely ladies who opened it got in contact with me recently to help decorate their walls with loads of fun murals. It feels like the perfect place for me to be as I don’t think I ever really grew up and my brain is absolutely exploding with ideas to brighten up all their brand new white walls with things to make children laugh.

My monsters have become kind of an extension of me and brought me so much joy to let them out of the paint can and out into the world again to cause havoc and fun wherever they go.

Here are some photos of the first wall I let loose on a couple of weeks ago.

Monsters and Cartoons

So, I’ve been pretty slack with my blogging because my world has been filled with monsters and cartoons. I’ve been busy painting a whole new set of monsters at One40 in the recycling area to help people understand where everything belongs. It was pretty fun for me getting lost in my imagination, dreaming about what a bunch of mischievous monsters would get up to if let loose in a bunch of recycling rooms.

I also did my first big signage job for the “One40 Work” event, which I got my scissor lift licence for which was a bit of a milestone for me. It was a bit scary being up so high while painting, so before I came back to take it down, I had planned a trip to New Zealand for my Grandpa’s 100th birthday and while I was there I did the 198m jump off the Sky Tower in Auckland to help me with my fear of heights which was amazing and definitely helped me get over any fear. Although, when the Sky Jump guide asked me why I was doing the jump, he reminded me that it’s probably not a good idea to get into the habit of jumping off high things.

The last thing I wanted to tell you about was my latest mural at One40 which was for the Red Cross and Zetta. It’s probably my favourite mural I’ve done to date. It’s a bunch of gadget loving I.T. people and a couple of robots floating around on giant red blood cells. I love these new characters. Especially the beardy guy wearing a giant hat. So hipster.
