Johnny Morris who owns the World Fossils shop in St Nicholas Market Bristol commissioned me to paint an 8 metre mural around his shop. The design portrays various species from the fossil record, it’s a glimpse of life on earth from the last 600 million years.
I had to do a lot of research to depict the changing flora, fauna and climate over such a big stretch of time. You’ll notice the timeline along the top of the boards.
I painted these boards in my studio using acrylic paint and spraycans:
You can watch a timelapse of the painting process and the unveiling of the mural in this documentary by Gallus Film & Media.
