I wasn't expecting such a quick response to the mural submissions, so hadn't checked my emails but when i did;
I've only gone and bloody won it! Which is amazing obviously, but now ive got work out a way to actually paint this thing - i was already in the mode that i would've have to worry about it as someone else's design had won. But im already having to consider how best to transfer my image on the wall, and how much paint or how many posca pens i'll need? I mean its only a relatively small area to paint, so i cant imagine it would take that much paint, but i dont want to get caught out and look like an absolute rookie, which is exactly what i am!
Ive spoken to a few mates with mural mapping out equipment, which i was looking to borrow - but none of them gave the ma very good review. Tom O' Connor has the old traditional approach; some 'pouncing' equipment, where you perforate your image into paper using a pouncer wheel, then dab chalk through the paper, onto the wall which leaves your outlines. Emily on the other hand has a little projector, but doesn't rate it = she did suggest going down to the photography studio and enquiring about proper projectors down there, which might be my best bet. Not sure what my other options would be to be honest.
I've kept in touch muralist Pete Barber (who i worked with over the summer) and tapped him up for some pointers about how he might approach it, so i'll see what he says about it. WAB haven't given me a 'GO' date yet, so until I'm actually physically there, painting it I'm not going to get carried with thinking about buying gold crowns and fur coats with my winnings just yet...
