I’d really like to auto-sync certain topics across the “dot life” forums but at the moment that’s not possible :pensive:

If we have a poll of design choices for this wall in Forest Hill, we’d obviously want to do it on this forum.

But the list of artists is something that SE26.life has taken the lead on. It’s only a couple of clicks to sign up to SE26.life.

Nice try, Chris. But no, I don’t want to sign up to another of your suite of forums. Discussion of artists for SE23 should reside in this forum, even if it does duplicate information from elsewhere. Linking to the SE26 wiki makes sense but I personally thinking sending people back and forth between two graphically identical forums to add information to that wiki and then discuss that information here is a recipe for confusion.

I believe that the building was previously a Lloyds branch, before my time in SE23. I believe the owner has a workshop there and runs courses inside. Lovely chap. If you buzz the door then someone is often there.

Would it not be possible to retain and repair this artwork whilst commisioning a new one to cover the wall outside paddy power?.. With permission could our Havelock Walk or Louise House artists use the Paddy Power wall and other free space as an advertising canvas for their work?. It would be wonderful to celebrate the artistic talent Forest Hill has to offer.

Down at Havelock Walk Supermundane and Beep Studios create some large wall art…

Do love a bit of bold and bright.

+1 for this. It’s crying out for a decent pic on there. ESP since it’s very ugly ATM. I can see that that someone semi famous had made a start already (Nathan)

I’d be sad to lose our Faux Banksy telephone from the Paddy Power wall.

Maybe we should ask Rob or Ed to do something for D Rd?

Happy to email them and ask or maybe @LizAtkin would like to do something that creates awareness for compulsive skin picking disorder, maybe a large version of her charcoal art she gives away to train commuters in London & beyond :+1::+1:

Last time I suggested about paintings on that wall by Paddy power there was mentioned an issue about consent. Anyone know who owns it?

#34

The Banksy type phone could be incorporated…can enquiries be made of the restaurant/flat the other side of the wall?

That’s always a problem we come across sadly, if it was up to me I’d just go ahead and do it, without having thioughts about consequences, but thankfully I always have @Michael to run my ideas by to stop me getting in trouble :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I value his opinions strongly & he keeps me on track with my crazy ideas of what will or won’t work for FH.

This is why we both work so well together

So where did you get to Pauline ? Did you find out the owners ?

#37

I’m on the case!, and I know the owner.

So just a case of dropping by for a chat.

I’ll pop by tomorrow to chat with Paul :slight_smile:
