This street art piece is a collaboration with Transalpino clothing company. The artwork is a tribute to the original Wade Smith store in Liverpool.
Wade Smith was a fashion clothing stall that started in the early 1980's in Liverpool and grew rapidly, leading to a megastore offering 5 floors of fashion on Liverpool's Mathew Street.
This mural depicts the original store that was actually located to the left of the mural in the pictures (now Hardman Pizza). In those early days, Wade Smith specialised in trainers and football terrace fashions.
Painted in spring 2019, located on Fleet Sreet, Liverpool.
My second collaboration with Transalpino, always fun to work on as it is always a bit different from my normal style. Obviously I am too young to remember the first Wade Smith shop, but I used to regularly visit the large Mathew Street store.
A mural time lapse of one of Liverpool's famous Liver birds by Liverpool artist, Paul Curtis. Painted over a plain grey wall. Wings outstretched, the Liver bird looks out over the River Mersey from its perch on the Liver Building. The mural captures the copper oxide green of the statue. Completed in March 2019 at Harrison's Bar on North John Street, Liverpool.
This large scale street art mural captures Tranmere Rovers legends Ian Muir & Ray Mathias in their hey day.
The Tranmere Rovers Supporter's Trust have a mission to improve the match day experience and generate a bit of excitement and community amongst the fan. This mural is a big part of that mission.
Few players have had the same impact at Tranmere Rovers as Ray Mathias. Having played for the Whites for a period spanning 21 years, in which he took to the field 637 times, Mathias remains the club’s all-time record appearance holder.
To a generation of Tranmere Rovers fans, Ian Muir is remembered as a legendary player, who played the starring role in the greatest period of the club's history and also the finest centre forward not to have played in the top tier of English football. He holds the club goal scoring record of 142 goals in 314 appearances.
It was a massive honour for me to paint this mural and I'm Really happy with the way it has turned out. The club and the fans have treated me exceptionally and I want to thank them for the amazing support and positivity I have received from them. It was also fantastic to get to meet Ian and Ray.
