A couple more wall murals the top one based on Graffiti, the lower one based on Japanese Manga. Graffiti ( according to Wikipedia) is the name for images or lettering, scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the roman empire. In modern times spray paint, normal paint and markers have become the most common used materials. In this case Acrylic paint was used, and my son uses spray cans for spraying designs on board in the garden.
In the case of Japanese Manga (again according to Wikipedia) consists of comic and print cartoons and conforming to the style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. In their modern form, manga date from shortly after world war 2, but they have a long complex history in earlier japanese art.
My son wanted this mural after seeing a Japanese Manga exhibition 'How Manga took over the World' in 2008 at Urbis gallery in Manchester......x
