Hammo is a freelance illustrator and mural painter based in Manchester

ThoughtWorks

I was commissioned by the lovely folks at ThoughtWorks Manchester to decorate a wall in their offices on the 26th floor of City Tower. The amazing views of the city from up there served as great inspiration for what has turned into a giant robot game of hide and seek, complete with snap-happy onlookers.


Also in there is a reference to Mustard Tree. A great local charity who provide support for the homeless and marginalised, and with whom ThoughtWorks have worked (and continue to work) closely. Check out their fantastic upcoming Empty Shop project.

Kosmonaut Mural

Kosmonaut Bar

Kosmonaut, an ace bar on Tariff Street in the Northern Quarter, are expanding and asked me to paint a mural to brighten up the new area, which opens later today.

Using this print, that I did for Rarekind back in July of last year, as a starting point, we see more giant robots engaging in some Stevenson Square based relaxing.

The process of expanding the bar did mean the explorer I painted a few months back had to go…

Go and have a look. It’s a rad bar with a fine selection of beers.

Marple Hall School

Marple-Mural-full

I’ve just spent a fun couple of days with some pupils (and Miss Aspinall!) at Marple Hall School giving their Art department a bit of a facelift.

The kids were rad, and super quick painters, with the colour laid down on the first day, and outlines finished the next – and on the first couple of days of their Summer holidays too! I’m considering hiring this crack squad of mural helpers for future projects…
