A few weeks ago I took my dog to the Groom Room at pets at home for his routine haircut and noticed this van parked next to the Halfords. Of course I recognised the artwork instantly as Farrah’s, and as I approached the van I saw Farrah sitting inside taking a break from a wall she was painting nearby. I knocked on her window (which might have appeared a bit creepy) and introduced myself, told her about my blog and that I had written about several of her pieces. I think it took a couple of minutes chatting about her work, that I wasn’t some kind of weirdo.
The van and its stunning decoration need little explanation as it is representative of her unique brush stroke style which she has mastered and which is visible all over the city. The highlight of this occasion was that Farrah tipped me off about a huge wall and paint jam that would be happening the following week a stone’s throw away from where we were talking. The event she was talking about was Goldie’s paint jam celebrating 30 years of Metal Headz, his music production company. More about this in due course.
It was a delight to meet Farrah at last, and it is always great to capture painted vehicles.
