More of my painting exploits, this time an old 1950s London Taxi. I have been painting at the graffiti event 'Styles of Somerset' held in Glastonbury for a few years but this year I was asked to paint a lovely old London Taxi. I jumped at the chance and I really enjoyed working with the forms of the taxi. The owner had seen my work before and said do what you like which for me is the best way to approach any artwork. The art flowed out easily over the forms and curves of the taxi and I employed a very freestyle layering kind of approach which I think has worked well. The vehicle still runs but had to be towed as it's not currently road legal, it was towed back to its home by Rolls Royce Silver Ghost which was a sight to see, I will try and upload a film of that when I can as it was quite fun to watch.
