Child's bedroom mural in Manchester with a dinosaur on a skateboard, trees, mountains and toucans — *Bedroom mural with a skateboarding dinosaur and toucans* 🙂

Parents Justine and Daniel wanted a mural to brighten up the walls of Benji’s brand new bedroom.

They knew exactly what characters and colour scheme they wanted…definitely a stegosaurus, definitely mountains, and most definitely a toucan. (Or three!)

Projects always start with a collaborative Pinterest board, one of the images in which prompted Justine to ask “can we put the stegosaurus on a skateboard?”

Why not! 😀

I had such a lovely time painting this mural, made even better by a wonderful family, a view of the hills from the window, and constant company from Lisa the cat…who liked swishing her tail against fresh paint! 😻
