Monday Mural: Old Garratt, new artwork


There are three large hoardings outside the Old Garratt pub in Manchester city centre. For years these featured a mural which was mostly white with abstract pink, black and green designs. It didn't really warrant a place here on the blog, so jaded and faded had it become in recent years.

However a few months back the hoardings were whitewashed and last Tuesday one of them was painted with this design. It advertises a drink but personally the blood red and flesh-coloured globules that emanate from the bottle slightly turn my stomach and put me off... What do you think? 

Taking part in this week's Monday Mural.

  1. I think you are right. Not the best way to advertise a drink. Thanks for showing.

  2. I agree with you. Those things look like pieces of intestines that got loose! :)

  3. I didn't mind it Chrissy, kind of psychedelic... and then you mentioned 'globules' and it was all over red rover :)

  4. It does tend to come across like intestinal art, doesn't it?

  5. Not the most appetizing ad I've seen!

  6. Whatever they are they and the glass shards are fleeing at the power of that brew. Must be some strong stuff. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
