THE MANHATTAN PROJECT

In these pictures you will see me - ably assisted by fellow 'geometric' artist Rob Walsh - execute a test-run of my forthcoming mural design for prestigious Birmingham-based practise, BPN Architects.


The artwork is originally inspired by an early-morning bike ride on the 4th of July, 2013, around Battery Park, Brooklyn Bridge, and City Hall, New York City ( see photo ). The area was deserted and it made for an exhilarating experience, going from bike-park to bike-park before the time limits were up.
