A community banner project based on 'what this area means to you'. I was commissioned to design and illustrate a series of permanant street banners near and around the area I live (pure coincidence). The first 13 banners appeared in July 2009 along Agbrigg Road and are to be joined in March 2010 by a further 12, which will connect the Agbrigg and Belle Vue areas of Wakefield along the Doncaster Road. There are many reasons for this project but for me as the Artist, it was to draw attention to areas that I have walked reguarly around and through for the last ten years. Mostly in a hurry, sometimes for comic strips and my personal drawing work, you can easily forget how special some of these urban spaces are. info Each
banner is .75m x 2.4m, professionally printed Black
and white maker pen line work scanned at 25 Banners in total. Consultation and commissioned by The Faceless Company. All images © copyright John Welding |
