Think someone from Burnley has been reading this post, the guy who does these is going there soon to do some of these, can't remember where it said though, some mill in Burnley

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

It's in Barrowford at Higherford Mill.

The man is Julian Beever and Mid Pennine Arts have brought him over to create a new piece of artwork inside the mill.

He's starting on Wednesday afternoon and he'll be drawing until Saturday afternoon 10am - 4pm each day. It is open to the public as he's working and all of the artist studios in the building will also be open.

Please come along and see it.

Work and football will stop me going to see it being done, It will be available to view for a while after will it?

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

The mill will also be open on the Sunday, 10am - 4pm.

As it's done in chalks it won't be around for long afterwards. Plus, I don't know what will happen about access after the Sunday so I'd try and see it at the weekend if possible.

I should point out in case anyone resurrects this thread in a few years time again, it is 22nd - 25th March 07, that he'll be around.

They're actually more interesting from the wrong angle where they're all distorted.

I think theyre great and would look good in all town centres .. would brighten up any dreary shopping trip..

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

So do we have any volunteers to brighten up Accy then?

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

Nip round to the nearest school you will find enough young artists there to decorate the town centre willingly!!!:D Especially if you are providing the spray cans etc and they wont get done of the community cops.

I think these are very good they would decorate any town centre why not instead of chalk use paints - hard wearing ones so then its permanent.

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

Now thats one way of doing it but what would they paint and would we like it?

Re: We need something like this in Accy
 

I once saw a table with some playing cards on the top after unsuccessfully attemting to pick one up I realised they were painted on, as always the French have a name for this type of art go on Gayle enlighten this old fool.:)
