Converse Wall Of Clash




Converse Wall of Clash by Myself and Remi Rough.
A clash of styles, where my illustration style clashes with Roughs abstract graffiti style. Bringing colour to the city's grey surroundings.


About 900sq foot of wall on the Powerhouse of the Old Vinyl Factory. The wall was huge. The weather was bad but we got it done in time with a little help from fellow Agent Of Change member Steve More. Took about 10 days and was revealed at the Sneakersclash for Converse new Chuck Taylor All-Star launch.


The design is a layout of diamond and circle record sleeve shapes. The characters are all 1950's style. This place started life as a gramophone factory that went on to make their own gramophone records. During the war it became a factory making munitions. They would eventually become EMI records. The main girl is using a gramophone megaphone, calling out the colour on to the grey world.
