Graffiti / wall artist needed!

[ecain63]

I need someone to add a touch of colour to my man cave and the look I'm going for on one wall is 'urban'. Graffiti style is quite cool at the mo and I'm thinking a nice big Union Jack would look ace in a spray can stylee. Anyone out there in the south who can do this to decent quality finish?

Failing that, is anyone good at wall art? Same design applies.

I know someone very good I'll ask him if he is interested?

[ecain63]

Cool, thanks mate.

I know someone.

He had the most incredible huge spray paint wall art in his Victorian sea front apartment. I've never seen anything like it! I can ask.

[ecain63]

Please do mate.

Is this for the garage? I like the idea a lot but for me I reckon other members in the block would complain!!!

No, for my 'Man Room'. Got a big HD TV in there now, a stereo and engine coffee table so now its time to paint it before i go hanging pictures, erecting book shelves etc. I am tempted to paint it myself but i always prefer other peoples art work to my own. Im not bad with a pencil / paint brush to be fair but im no good at 'urban art'!

Decided to give it a shot myself. The pictures dont do it justice but im quite plesed with it.

looks good, but no games console ?

Bit late now, but, this was crying out for a floating wall!!! Easy to mount the TV, wires hidden behind, easy to build/change, easy to add backlighting behind the floating wall....

Yeah, i had actually considered that one. But, i decided not to follow my brain and went hardcore instead. Im quite gutted that the pics show it so poorly but the wall really does look quite good.

I sure did. Got it free with a Toshiba 50" I bought from Tesco Tower Park last year. The small thing is not actually a freeview box, the tv has Feeview HD already (not that my indoor Digital HD antenna is any good round here), its a "doovd" player.

Anyone know anything about digital antennas?

What do you need to know. Tesco offer one for £149 and you ge the aerial and it installed.

TBH, for around here I would go freesat £99 for that including the dish and you are graunteed to get a better signal. Poole mainly works of relays so our signal will never be truely strong.

If I'm honest, I don't really want to have another dish fitted to the house as we already have a sky dish and a regular aerial. That's why I bought the indoor antenna. Its an 'All for one, full HD antenna' if anyone knows anything about them. I tried it on 3 tv's last night and could not get it to work on any of them. Its supposed to be amplified too.

Freesat uses the Sky satellite! You may need to change the LNB for one with more outputs, but there's usually a spare on there. My Sky satellite had 4 outputs, only two were bein used by my Sky+. I ran a wire from a spare outlet into the bedroom for Freesat
