Last month: February 2012, saw us launching two new videos
onto the BBC BIG SCREEN in Liverpool. These will run twice a week on a continuous
loop. Both featured world renowned 3D pavement artists PLANET STREET-PAINTING from Holland.

These where amongst some of our highlights from our 2011 season; we would like to thank the BBC Big Screen for helping us to put pavement art back on the streets, and offering their continued support.

Thanks personally to Jeremy Buxton & Phil Chapman from the BBC!

A 3D chasm of art….unearthed by the very fingers of children!!

….created by the children of St. Bede’s and St. Gerards Primary School

Thursday 30th June 2011

Widnes Market, Cheshire, UK

We learnt a lot from this gig…doing 3D pavement art is not easy, even for highly skilled screevers, but try adding 60 school children who have never done this before, plus helpers & teachers and a 60 foot piece of art!!!. Now that’s the REAL crevasse, how do you do such a thing? Well thats like saying ” How do you get to Carnegie Hall?”

Practice man, practice

I came along with my mum thinking this was going to be boring, but this has turned out to be great fun!

Such lovely people and their workshop was a massive hit. The kids were amazed that they were allowed to draw and paint on the ground – they kept looking over their shoulders for the police or a resident coming to shout at them!
