00:30Yeah, why don't you tell us about the project you're working on here today.

00:34So we are in Bred Street on Aldal Road and the project is, it's a bit to do with L.P.

00:43Hartley, a famous author that used to live in Fletton Tower, based over here.

00:49It has, at the start of the mural we have a picture of Aldal Road from, I believe, 1904.

00:58Then we've got, the bit in the middle is L.P.'s Hartley, L.P. Hartley, I can't think what it's called.

01:07And then down here we've got Neely Valley.

01:10So it's all, we're going for like a Victorian theme, like sepia tone, like an old-fashioned mural.

01:18So people actually looked when L.P. Hartley would have been, we would have been living here, yeah.

01:21Yes, yeah, yeah, it all started with L.P. Hartley.

01:24They're going to have a blue plaque put on the wall, you know, to mark his part of the city, so yeah.

01:30So you're going for more like a sketch style for this one, yeah?

01:33Yes, so rather than going, say where Calgate was more like a realistic photo style,

01:38this we're going, it'll be more like illustrated, more like a pencil drawing.

01:43So the line work will be a little bit less refined, but yeah, the idea is we want to try and create something that's a bit old-fashioned.

01:50And yeah, that's the kind of vibe we're going for.
