Lubi Lykan Couture & Embroidery and I hung the first of the #Reading Fc 150th anniversary murals yesterday, looking really spectacular. Can’t wait for the fans to see it! #readingfc #brianmcdermott #crowdmural #football #footballfans #crowdmurals #artwork #crowds #artwork #projects
A big day for us yesterday - @lubilykan and I handed in our completed hare.
We’ve been simmering it gently for the last few weeks but it escalated predictably into a feverish frenzy of bunny boiling as the deadline weekend arrived.
We can’t wait to show the world what we have made when they launch the trail officially in a few weeks ! @sculptures #sculptures #artwork #projects @pikebambridge @thebigharetrail @lanabambridge
Latest updates from the Reading fc crowd mural - this section is getting close to complete ! #crowds #artwork #portraits #readingfc #projects #community
So, apparently I made the #list of #edinburgh ’s Hot 30 for 2020. Basically the hottest people in the capital.
I’m pictured here with the #dream #team of @lubilykan and Heather Ferguson. It has been confirmed. We are To Edinburgh what Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista were in the 80s.... THAT HOT!!
Lubi is my #partner in #life and is a crucial #force in all my #projects these days, I couldn’t have coped these last few years without #her . She has been a pivotal force in the background throughout the two years it took to deliver this #baby , #helping guarantee the #success of the whole #tunnel project.
She was also hands on during all the four #school residencies we undertook, gently whipping the kids into shape. We are pictured here on the bramble bush at Bonaly Primary.
Heather helped out as #workexperience for that week from Newbattle High school and was a fantastically mature and enthusiastic member of the team. And forced us to mosh on the way to school daily’s liven up the team
