In August I had the pleasure of creating a bespoke venue design for the fabulous Ventnor Fringe Festival

Originally created by a team of local students in 2010 the festival follows the core principles of the famous Edinburgh Fringe that inspired it, in which any artist can take part. Since then, the Ventnor Fringe has gradually grown into one of the Island’s most exciting new festivals, attracting more than 300 performers in 2014 from all over the world

I was commissioned to hand paint a giant octopus onto their ‘Observatory Bar’ which sits above the seafront overlooking Ventnor Beach..
