My first and all-time favourite mural [Photo progression]

in art •  8 years ago 

Just over a year ago, on visiting my family for Christmas, I had the urge to cover a blank wall in my childhood bedroom.

I'd been drawing in this style for around 4 years but never contemplated whether it would translate well onto something so big... So I wasn't sure how I was going to do it or whether it would even work, but I put my pen to the wall to do the first stroke of what would end up being a couple of hundred.

Hundred... Thousand... Hundred Thousand?

Because safe to say it worked out well and, who knows how many hours and pen strokes later, I've managed to do eight murals since...

But despite all of those endeavours, "Aurora" (this wolf) still remains my all-time favourite :-)

I think my dog Luna feels the same way too...

Aurora now looks over my desk, reminding me of the magic of hard work, keeping me motivated whenever I visit the UK...

I'm still new and not too sure whether it's cool us advertising our websites on here yet...

Any answers would be super appreciated (it didn't go down too well on 9gag!) but there are some prints on there just in case any of you would like a copy of Aurora too :-) http://fayehalliday.com

Nicely done Faye!

Your work is really beautiful-- visionary!

I don't think there's anything wrong with posting a link to your web site or shop-- lots of people do that... as long as you're not just shamelessly "spamming" it everywhere, which (clearly) you're not.

Woww ! I love your work of Art !

Very impressive, though I suppose having a print doesn't give the same magnificent experience of the original mural!

I love this stuff,and I normally don't even care about visual art.
Upvoted,resteeemed and followed.

nice job. any xilography ever?

Lost for words @fayehalliday, you rock!

It's so beautiful! Great job, @fayehalliday ^_^

Amazing. You are such an inspiration!

Beautiful, great job!!!

your art is so cool! I love this wolf, and the fluffy little dog is super cute ^^ <3

Mind. Blown.

Sure it's fine to do that, it's your blog after all. The kind of stuff that gets pushback or flags is more blatant abuse. Stuff like spamming comments, plagiarizing content from others, trolling/harassing etc. and abusing tags (for example posting regular articles with "introduceyourself" tag to try get more traffic).

In the future you the author will be able to enforce your own rules on the comment section of your blog (although nothing ever gets removed from the blockchain behind the scenes).

Do you only do murals? :) I love them btw.

Really awesome, nice work!

Wow, that's quite simply amazing. So much detail!!
