Mostyn Skatepark

Today  Zap Graffiti Arts visited Mostyn in North Wales to work with the skatepark locals there, and worked with them to created these 2 pieces.

From scratch amidst periods of rain, the young folks did each bit of these…and for most it was there first time painting any form of graffiti. This project was funded by Communities First.

(Unlike some workshop providers in our form, we get the kids busy learning how to do this all on their own.)

PROVE IT! (Click any image for larger views.)

1.5 hour action! The Slamander is a remainder from the previous mural commemorating the life of DALE, a local local youngster, which the group wanted to keep and work into the new piece.
