Thank you to everyone in Derry and all the lovely locals for the lovely hospitality who made this such an amazing trip. Big thank you to everyone from Praxis around the corner who made our week and even gave us another spot to hit up before we left town (subject of our next post). As well as a massive thank you to Irony for giving up their time to come paint for free so far from home and for doing such a first class job for such a lovely spot. This outstanding work can be found in Glenview Terrace and was put up with support form ourselves London Calling Blog.

The blank wall awaiting transformation over the coming days.

The stunning finished piece.
