Love the proposed tiger.

How disappointing, I was expecting to see a Tiger, Tiger burning bright, PGC :)

May 10th - not much time for the painting, is there? Do you reckon they'll get it done?

I'd volunteer but I'm at to my eyes at the mo.

What degree of technical skill do you think is needed ?

[Sue]

Being able to paint within the lines the artist has already drawn, I would have thought :)

[TillieTrotter]

I'm really pleased about this.(tu)

[Moos]

Me too - and the new design looks good. I'm glad he didn't incorporate a 'tagging section' as was once suggested.

Saw the great man himself this morning, directing the scaffolding and taking snaps. Was overcome by uncharacteristic shyness otherwise I would have gone up to him and mumbled something vaguely sycophantic. [Actually, I couldn't for the life of me remember his name.]

Stan met with the Deputy Head of St John's and St Clement's school this morning, to discuss the involvement of the children in repainting the mural. The staff and the governors, as well the children, are keen that the school should be involved. The Governors met last night, discussed the mural and were enthusiastic, having apparently been made aware of the plans through updates on the EDF!

Stan also met with Father Charles from St John's Church this morning.

There seems to be an all round enthusiaasm for the project, and plans are falling into place. Stan said he would provide me with a more detailed update on the meeting this morning and on the next steps, and I'll post the notes on here when he does.

PGC, say hello to him when you see him next. Very approachable, and a fund of fascinating stories about artists old and new.

What does it have to do with Father Charles from St John's Church?

All part of the community, and the church were instrumental in the fund raising and commission of the original mural

[Ted Max]

Oh. Right enough. That was very open-minded of it.

[Moos]

Plus it's right next door to his house so he's bound to be curious!

Nice chap too.

[Ted Max]

I'd be curious too, if I were him.
