In 2020, I was asked to design a new mural for a community centre in Hornsey, London - The Hornsey Vale Community Centre. Their newly designed logo which reflected the ‘Vale’ part of the name with hilly curves, became my starting point for a variety of designs. Colours were chosen to compliment the blue window frames and door, and to be uplifting and fun.

Over a cold November few days, myself and 2 trusty helpers painted the wall. It was lockdown, so we provided much entertainment and encouragement with passing walkers, joggers, babies and dogs! Drawing the template curves for the initial outline proved the hardest part of the job but we got there in the end.

Remember to take a selfie - it’s designed for people!
