Off the Wall



The original mural by Alison Day


This image and a small FILM, I made many years ago, are all that are left of a mural I created for my son's bedroom wall. (S'cuse the inferior quality)
For me, the question had always remained: What was the story behind the mural?
With that in mind, I'm about to self-publish—the story behind the mural as a children's book and one that I have written, illustrated and designed too.
Currently, I am working towards self-publishing the story, via a crowdfunder. So, watch this space and my other social media...

Blue Train Mural



Below is a short (amateur) film of a hand-painted mural (1 x 1 metre), I created for the wall of a young boy's bedroom. When asked what he wanted, he said: a blue train, with ten carriages, filled with animals and him driving the engine.




Although the mural no longer exists, I’ve written and published the story to the mural accompanied by a series of illustrations, which will soon be self-published as a children's storybook.

Myth is Myth









It seems that the much-feared predictions around 2012 and the end of the world could be a myth! 

A 1,200 year old mural has recently been found in an ancient Mayan house, and is said to include drawings and calculations of ancient scribes who kept records in this way in order to track the passing of time. 

This calendar refutes the previous one of the world's demise in 2012. Apparently, it is due to occur many thousands of years in the future, long after you and I have left this dimension - unless of course we succeed in the interim time of accelerating its demise!
