Dimelow hits the heights


Neil Dimelow is based in Crumpsall, north Manchester. A former architect and now a primary school teacher, he is also an artist. He has produced a series of these pop up art works along with printer William Chitham, recreating aerial views of the city. Drawings are scanned, digitised, scaled up and coloured. They are on display on the ground floor of City Tower. More of Neil's work at his website: http://neildimelow.com

  4. Excellent! But I can't imagine going from an architect's studio to a primary school! Could architecture really be that bad! :-) Just kidding. I'm a retired teacher and our youngest daughter teaches 5th grade.

  5. This is gorgeous, just what you would expect from a former architect, with a wonderful style. What an amazing man, teaching children and yet still able to follow his art passion, lucky guy.

  9. I believe this is the first moveable mural we've had on the meme. Made all the more impressive by this man's career path. I bet his students get fabulous art lessons. Even though this is a cityscape, there's something old timey about the lines of the background landscape. Thank you for participating in this week's Monday Mural.

  12. This is absolutely beautiful. I love the use of colors - it has both a retro and a futuristic feel.
