Valley pitch side mural

shine166

Posting this here as it was mentioned in a random thread in response to a shot of a training top. 

I paint murals in a geometric style and would love to paint something similar to the new training kit. I've painted all round the world and upto last week had my work on the trumpets outside the leadenhall building. I spotted this wall a few weeks ago, which does look like it needs a bit of tlc anyway. If anyone from the club would be interested in talking, please get in touch 💪

Your work looks impressive mate and could be a good idea, but you need to contact the Commercial dept at the club, or maybe @Henry Irving could put in a word for you...🙄

I would imagine it would only work the other way around mate and you'll have to get in touch with the club instead of waiting around for them to contact you

shine166

Cheers both, will do.

You could paint a geometric cardigan.

Did anything ever happen with the mural that was meant to be on the side of the club shop?

Sounds a great idea.

Your work looks very impressive btw.

@shine166

Happy to help if i can.

Can you send a few pictures of your work and a brief CV/website link to me on cafchistorian@gmail.com and I'll pass it in.

Think a CAFC version of your LOVE would be a winner but no idea if the club will fund it.

Just paint the black bit of the wall red?

Sorted.

Need to get the club shop mural done first of all. Any updates on that?

There should be very soon.

Also happy to offer CAST’s help / support @shine166 if you wish - contact us via secretary@castrust.org.

I’d assume they would rather have an advert there if they can persuade a business to pay.

You can see the ply sheets from the other side of the ground so it needs something either way. I imagine a team painting that white would cost more than a mural. Il msg everyone that's replied with some ideas, no harm in trying.

Is there anywhere the training gear can be purchased??

Scoham

That training shirt should have been our third kit in green, white and purple.

It’s unreal the wide variety of talents and skills that get revealed about posters on here. Very cool @shine166

My choice would be a mural of the old ground with 70,000 in it but with a subtle subtext woven into the scene like "Fuck off Millwall".

That's right next to the memorial garden... Not sure if that might be an issue at all...

I fundamentally disagree with that.

There is absolutely no need for subtlety.

Any update on this?
