A tribute to Freddie Mercury and Brian May at Hot Water Comedy club on Hardman Street, Liverpool. The club used to be the Magnet Club until 2017 before Hot Water took over. They wanted to retain a nod back to the iconic club where so many musical legends graced the stage.
Freddie Mercury and Brian May once played at The Magnet club (then The Sink club) under the name Ibis rather than Queen.
I had a bit of fun with the audience and added some celebrities. See if you can spot Eminem, Mr T., Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Ken Dodd, Marilyn Monroe, Hulk Hogan, Tommy Cooper and Freddie Kruger!
Completed August 2018
This street art piece is a collaboration with Transalpino clothing company. The artwork is clearly a protest against Donald Trump's immigration policy - particularly the president's idea to build a wall between the USA and Mexico.
The piece was actually designed by Rob May (Laces Out festival). It is a parody of Pink Floyd's The Wall album artwork, originally painted by Gerald Scarfe.
Painted in summer 2018, located at Langham Street in Everton, Liverpool.
This was my first political piece, which is a bit surprising as I am actually quite a political person. It was great to work with Jockey and Transalpino for this collaboration. Its true that I am not a Trump fan, I hope Pink Floyd like the work and agree with the sentiment.
A bird's-eye view of the city of Liverpool by Liverpool artist, Paul Curtis Artwork. Located at Cellar 24, Wood Street, Liverpool. The painting is slightly Lowry-esque but the streets are intentionally empty. It was all about the buildings, and it gives an unusual ghost town feel. It has a false perspective in order to keep the buildings in the distance large enough to identify.
Some of the buildings painted include: The Liver Building, Port of Liverpool, Liverpool Town Hall, Liverpool One, The Law Courts, The White Star building, Mann Island, and the Victoria Monument.

It was painted in April 2018 and took about 7 days. I haven't counted the total number of buildings, and didn't even think about a window count!
