Bob Marley street art mural Liverpool




 

Tyrannosaurus Rex street art new ferry



T-Rex


The ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex stomping his authority over New Ferry. The king of the dinosaurs. Captured in a barren, volcanic landscape beneath blue skies, populated by pterodactyls.



This mural was painted by Paul Curtis as part of Phase 2 of the New Ferry (Wirral) Mural Festival in 2020. It is on the outside of the old Alice Place Pub which is undergoing a refurbishment and will re-open as The Magic Tree, a children's' soft play centre.

The mural is actually to the scale of a full grown adult T- Rex, so you can imagine just what it was like to have one prowling the streets!











Two Dogs & A Sprinkler new ferry






 Two Dogs & A Sprinkler


This huge mural is incredibly striking and incorporates alot of fun and energy.  Dogs love a garden sprinkler and these two are full of the joy of summer, jumping in and out of the water jets.  One is a sheepdog and the other is a red terrier (based on the owner's own dog.  This is also a very popular piece - dogs are a winner it seems!


A very enjoyable piece.  I love dogs so I had great fun painting this.  The central porch made manoeuvring a tad difficult, but the biggest decision was knowing when to stop adding water drops and spray.  


Winston Bulldog street art mural new ferry





Winston Bulldog

This grumpy old fella has proven very popular amongst the New Ferry locals, particularly the kids from the nearby school.  Winston stands guard at the Bulldog Pub, keeping an eye out for any wrong-uns, so behave yourself!  The owners of the pub do in fact have a couple of bulldogs of their own, so they were keen on this design.


This was actually relatively easy to paint, but its often the simple ones that turn out to be the most loved ones. The gale force winds that week did make it a bit more fun!



 

Lotus Flowers new ferry






Lotus Flowers

A pair of beautiful magenta lotus flowers, sitting amongst the lilies in a pond.  There is a photorealism to this painting, from the delicate flower petals to the light reflecting off the pond surface.  



 

Bob Marley New Ferry







Bob Marley

The Legend - Bob Marley.  This portrait respects the creative genius in an understated simple depiction.  The edges of the mural have added splashes of green and gold in an abstract representation of the Jamaican flag.  


A difficult wall to work with: wide but short, with a large proportion of window, but the inventive use of the space available, has produced a fitting, well-balanced mural.



 

Amazon Tree Frog new ferry




Amazon Tree Frog

A cheeky Amazonian Tree Frog peering out from his watering hole, pulling back the vine leaf curtains.  A cute colourful character with crazy eyes and a wonky smile looks out on the passers-by in New Ferry.


Simple, colourful and eye-catching.  This is the perfect fit for the wall of Andy's Aquatics!
