DIY SOS
I have recently helped out by painting some trompe l'oeil on BBC1's "DIY SOS" with my associate Gordon Collett.
Follow the above link to see a photo of Gordon and myself with the DIY SOS team.
I will post transmission dates as soon as I get them.
60 Minute Makeover
Gordon and myself have also lended our painting skills to three shows for ITV1's "60 Minute Makeover".

Murals & Trompe L'Oeil
Murals & Trompe L'Oeil paintings have become a unique and appealing way
of adding personality to a business or home
Consideration for the architectural detailing, colour and mood of the
environment creates artwork which is both individual and sensitive
to the style and period of the setting.
Trompe L'Oeil
This is a French expression meaning simply to 'trick the eye' and it describes
a painted illusion, a visual joke, specifically designed to fool viewers into
believing that what they are seeing is real.
It is only when they come closer to inspect the work in more detail - perhaps
even as they reach over to pick up a realistically painted wine glass -
they realize to their delight that they have been duped.
A good trompe l'oeil mural can blur the boundary between fantasy and reality,
making the viewer believe they are looking out onto a Tuscan landscape -
even from the confines of a windowless room.

There are lots of murals to see here - if you look in the gallery link on the top
menu bar you will see that all my work has been catagorised for your
convenience. All the murals in the galleries have slideshows which give more
information on the work as well as showing more images.
I paint murals in a variety of styles on commissions from restaurants, hotels,
leisure centres, businesses and private homes.
I will more than happy to discuss your requirements without obligation
and provide preliminary sketches thereafter.
Get in touch and give me a challenge.
