The Selfie wall trail

Again, on holiday in Bournemouth looking for something fun and arty to do.. I went into a gift shop and found this leaflet on the side. I have always loved wall murals and artwork on the side of buildings etc. I think this interest started with Banksy and his work..

I decided to try and find as many of these art pieces as I could, travelling along the coast to the different places on the map. Some were easy to find and some were more difficult. (They required some sleuth work on Instagram trying to look at everyone else’s photos and what landmarks they were near!)

Here are a few that I found.. (well, I also dragged my Mum around also trying to find them! :D)

Each piece of art had the tag of the artist so I was able to have a little stalk at the work of them all.

One of the artists called RickyAlso had an exhibition I would have liked to have gone to (It was in October 2017!! :s) called “My type on paper” where he exhibited some of his work. He specialises in wall murals but particulary Typograffiti

His work appears in a book that I wouldn’t mind having a look at. I like this style of art and the way he visually displays type.

He also drew the wall mural that I saw as I came into Bournemouth and took a photo of!
