One of the great things about the paint jam in Lucky Lane, organised by the Bristol Mural Collective, is that it has introduced me to several talented artists whose work I have never seen before. Paper Walls (Hannah) is a sign designer/painter based in Bristol, whose work has a wonderful sense of nostalgia about it, and is of the highest quality.

This Japanese Maneki-neko lucky cat (or beckoning cat) was one of two painted in the lane, during the paint jam, aligning with the luck theme. It is beautifully painted on the challenging surface of a shutter. I love the INDEPENDENTS sign to the top right, but that is what she does, I guess. A wonderful piece and I hope the first of many to be painted with the Collective.
