 These are some of the additional designs I made for the 34 Degrees South Restaurant, Bondi beach. Continuing in the same theme of the Jazz band and keeping the cartoon line style.

34 Degrees South Ladies- Ed Dyer 2011

 Other designs for the mural, these were some additional designs I put together for the 34 Degrees South Restaurant, a continuation of the jazz band theme on the feature wall. These were proposed ideas for the ladies room.

 More of the mural painting process, basically these are painted in massive panels, think Secret Wars but somewhat slower. 


The basic design outline of the piece is sketched out on the wall in willow charcoal, is then painted over with black oil based enamel.


The colouring or in this case the various grey tones are mixed and applied this can be messy, potentially toxic work work so I can't stress the O.H and S enough. 


If you are going to do one of these remember. 

• Work slowly but thoroughly- don't rush these things but don't drag it out.

• Invest in disposable rubber gloves, if you can get a box of 100 on the cheap they'll not only save you a lot of grief when you go to touch your face, scratch, eat etc. And you can greatly avoid washing your hands in turpentine.   





• Have a separate brush for each colour or tone, preferably a big brush and a small brush, and a tiny brush for ultra-fine work.

• Keep these brush sets with each colour and have a separate container for each. 

• Brushes are inexpensive for the most part, for the big brush you do better to go to the hardware store, the mid size brush you can find in most variety stores (please note that most of these are extremely poor quality with bristles that may fall out and flimsy handles) 



 There will be more tips to come stick around and watch this space.


Cheers

34 Degrees South Mural 2011

This is the mural I painted in May of 2011. A combination of enamel and water based paint. Approximately 18 sqm of wall coverage.  


I was called in to design for 34 Degrees South, Food, Wine, Music a restaurant and night club on Bondi Beach in Sydney.


Though this was rendered much faster in this video the whole thing took approximately a week and 2 days. Which for the size of the wall space would have to be the fastest indoor mural I've ever done.


I would also like to acknowledge the following who helped make this happen: The owner and proprieter thank you for the opportunity to make this, Elise and Amy who not only made me look good as supporting groupies but helped out with the recording of the photos and videos.
