The monthly billboard space at Print and Paste currently merges Manchester with Barrow-in-Furness. The busy bee (as every Mancunian and many regular readers of Mancunian Wave may also know) being the symbol of Manchester. A ram represents Barrow. Jeffrey Bowman (Mr Bowlegs) and Daren Newman (Me&MyPen) are the artists and “Always rising by wisdom and effort” seems a decent enough adage to kickstart any week.

A bee is a good choice for your city to pick as a symbol. Every time I see one they are working so hard for the good of the hive.
ReplyDeleteVery nice way to incorporate several things - and good words to live by!

Nice graphics. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit weird - like Night of the Killer Zombie Bees!
ReplyDeleteI am seeing the start of a zombie killer bee-ram...;
ReplyDeleteThe artists here are far more talented than many of those whose murals we see. It has an art nouveau feeling to it.
ReplyDeleteCreative mural. I would have never pictured a cross between a ram and a bee, but it works!
