A Geordie street artist is set to create a massive mural stretching 90 metres along Newcastle's Quayside.
Newcastle street artist and graphic designer, Alex Mulholland, who is known as 'Mul Draws', has started work on the project that will turn the former bus lane on the Quayside into a work of art. The colourful design has been commissioned by NE1, the city centre's business improvement district, who are working with Newcastle City Council to bring more public art into the city.
Covering a distance of over 90 metres, NE1 said the installation will include Wesley Square and will be the biggest of its kind in the UK when completed. The work will be designed to be hard-wearing, and able to withstand people driving and walking on it, as well as coping with the rigours of the weekly, Quayside Sunday Market.
