Mural Illustration in Leeds: The Neville Street Gallery
We were excited to be commissioned to create artwork for Neville Street in Leeds. This honours the history, life and culture of the city. We delved into the past, present, and future culture, industrial heritage, music, nature, and the people of Leeds for this project.
Behind the Scenes: Take a Seat! Project
Here’s a behind the scenes look at our recent Take a Seat! project, featuring a video of the process. We painted the bench for weeks, so we could fully immerse ourselves in the East Leeds community. We painted on-site and were able to converse with a range of different people. It was a lovely experience to have following months of isolation.
Our Latest Community Project: Take A Seat!
Take A Seat! has brought colourful benches across the city to celebrate local communities and how they rallied together during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s a commemorative project for the people of Leeds, and we knew we wanted to be a part of that!
Playtime Paris: Our Experience in Film
We were delighted to share our interactive artwork on an international stage at the recent Playtime Paris Show. We were able to engage the public in the arts, whilst also welcoming a new global audience on a larger-scale. View this short round-up film!
Illustrating The Secret Garden with York's Bloom! Festival
We're delighted to have partnered with York Theatre Royal and Little Vikings to deliver an interactive performance like no other this Bloom! Festival. Together, we will unveil a large-scale window mural to celebrate the launch of the production, The Secret Garden, appropriately timed with the floral-themed festival.
Fred Aldous Painting: Behind the Scenes
Hello everyone, Abigail here! We recently had the exciting opportunity of producing a painting in store for Leed's Fred Aldous (read our interview with them here). Chloe and I loved spending the day painting as we often create our work digitally. We'd really recommend pulling out the paint brushes every now and again.

This new beginning motivates us to reinvent ourselves, exercise our strengths, and remedy our foibles. I find this especially true of our young generation climbing social ladders and (literally) growing out of their former selves!
