As part of the rejuvenation process installed by st lukes cares, a youth club has recently been set up for youngers between aged 12 to 19. the URBAN BAR project is based lower Beeston and is based in the porta cabin pictured. I found out about the porject through moodle and discopvered they were in need of some graffiti painted on the cabin.
I arranged to meet a reprasentative of St Luke's Cares to discuss the job in hand.
Before the meeting my understanding was the requirement for a piece displaying the name and some opening times so i sketched up a few ideas to take along.
On arrival and further discussion i discovered the job was a great deal larger than i first understood it to be.
Painting the whole cabin, front, back, sides, TOP TO BOTTOM. I couldn't begin to imagin quoting paint costs on such a job with no real idea of layers, colours, or complexity.
I spoke further with the reprasentative and suggested other possibilities in getting the cabin fully painted , labour cost free. One suggestion that seemed possible was organising a jam, free labour, good expsure for a launch event. Visually speaking the aesthetics would be likely to fit the whole project alot better than a crisp piece of graphic design painted by one person. The idea after all is to bring people tpgether.
In the mean time i have agreed to paint a basic piece for the short term and am currently awaiting colour requests from the kids.
watch this space.
