Here Come the ABCs...
There's been plenty of activity outside our office over the past couple of weeks. As part of the No Barriers project, we've commissioned Island artists Aaron Fletcher and Nathan Holt to create a giant alphabet along the vast stretch of blue hoardings in Castle Street. Here are a few pics of work in progress - they've been busily painting the background and have just started on the huge lettering. Crocodiles, guitars, castles, dogs, beetles - what else can you see?
The boys have had fantastic feedback so far - one person said it made them feel safer, and another was spotted taking a photo of his car against the painted backdrop!
We hope to involve School and community groups to help with some of the decoration in the coming weeks. And the project might even have some musical elements - you'll just have to wait and see.

A & N excitedly open a tin of 'black' paint only to find that it's 'birch'!
