This one is in Chippenham, Wiltshire. It's directly opposite a primary school so I painted a mama and baby squirrel, figured both the mums and the kids would like that.13 Sep 2026 20:02 +0000at://did:plc:ni73qa4ccdu323lqbc5db53p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvgfao5l6k2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/implausible17.bsky.social/post/3muelj4u7tk2gMy contribution to the HUGE Wall Games street art and graffiti festival in Northampton this weekend - biggest in Europe with over 350 artists and writers!

Hottest May weekend in the UK in 82 years, apparently.

They wanted their four house trees, with roots as per their motto, and a mythical winged creature from each continent, as they have children from all over the world and wanted them all represented. Turned out nice!02 Mar 2026 14:24 +0000at://did:plc:ni73qa4ccdu323lqbc5db53p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mg3hh2sxcc2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/implausible17.bsky.social/post/3mcrgqunihk2mPhotos to follow, but here is a quick vid of the mural I finished up this weekend for a local youth club, in Swindon UK. I had tremendous fun both designing this one & painting it. Drawing cute dragons is good for the soul :) The youth club opens in a couple of weeks, I hope the kiddos like it!19 Jan 2026 10:30 +0000at://did:plc:ni73qa4ccdu323lqbc5db53p/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcrgqunihk2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/implausible17.bsky.social/post/3maqxzzibmc2cA friend of mine (face obscured to protect the innocent) posted this this morning.

I had the privilege of being one of the first people to see this anthology as I helped with some proof reading etc, and I was blown away. Loads of pages for your money, all killer no filler, proceeds to a great cause. What more do you want?
