Hi! I believe I’ve been summoned! Did someone say my name three times while looking in a mirror?

Filling walls is what I do! 😃

TJ has posted his up, which was a pleasure to do. Here’s another commission from a member of this very parish of Ben Nevis, again on alloy sheet

this one is a geographic mash up printed on vinyl and applied like wallpaper



and this one is another mash up printed on a canvas then stretched over an alloy frame

And graffiti, you say? That’s what started all this nonsense in the first place, only nowadays I don’t get arrested 😂

Heres a recent one but I don’t get the cans out any more. More civilised to draw up the outline in pen, scan it, live trace it then colour it up in illustrator. This is printed on a 2 metre alloy plate

theres loads of my other big pieces on www.adamrowlinson.co.uk

With copyright law.

It’s illegal to sell images that you don’t own, or have the rights to reproduce.

When I say "in a person's house, on a child's bedroom wall" I mean the fella who painted it did it in his house, on his child's bedroom wall. Nobody mentioned selling anything.

Cool. Never done it myself, there's a big-ish (3m x 2m maybe) water board metal cabinet type thing at the end of the bridleway from my place, right next to a main road, looks a state as it's been tagged all over - I was vaguely considering buying some spray cans and somehow learning to graffiti something cool over it instead!! Could easily do it in a few night-time stealth missions I guess. How hard can it be? 😂

Sorry, I was referring to the Etsy link to the Calvin and Hobbes print:

Calvin and Hobbes?

I'd quite like someone to come in and paint one of my lounge walls instead of hanging something on there. The people who did the outside wall of one of my locals would be good 🙂

Ok, you have all made me feel bad. I know Bill Waterstone does not do "Merch", but is also fine with people 'copying his work for their own pleasure, but not commercial gain'.

I remembered the wall mural that jonm81 had posted before, did a quick/lazy/dirty google search and posted the link without thinking.

The artwork in my link does look cool. I want one, but don't have the space for it. Either way, please don't buy one.

PS - I tried to edit the link, but it is too late 🙁

@simondbarnes Ths Snowgoose in Macc. Great little pub if so and the artwork makes me smile. The pillar at the train station and the Reg Mombasa style work across from DW IS great if rather tatty now. I’d love to see more done locally.

Always seems weird when somebody from the same town posts. I’ll now be looking at every man at the Treacle Market asking myself “Which one is Simon?”

Beware that Binners delivery comes with a beer monster.  I woke in the morning feeling like I had been beaten round the head and someone shat in my mouth.  Also my wallet was empty.

Similar to the Kimbers one, SportPursuit (IKR!) had some really nice maps and arty things for walls a while ago. I searched my old emails but couldn't find a brand name. Er, so, yeah, there's stuff out there!

But buy a binners, of course 🙂

Reminds me of a time when I was a 19yr old barman in a very 'locals' pub, and one of the the 'characterful' regulars had been standing at the end of the bar, nursing his pint and looking pensive, for quite a while.

"Are you okay there Alan?" I asked

He says "can I ask you a question?"

"Course you can"

Quietly, he said "If you woke up one morning with grass stains on your knees, bleeding from the arse, and you couldn't remember what had happened, would you tell anyone?"

I said "Er, probably not"

Beaming, he looked me in the eye and said "Do you wanna come camping?" and proceeded to piss himself laughing for about ten minutes.
