Mural Works

'The physical presence of a mural has a unique way of leaving a lasting impression. In todays throw-away culture the mighty mural can instantly communicate the level of thought, development and time that went into its creation.'  - Aidy Brooks

Private Commission - Bristol

Art Direction / Illustration / Spray Painting
 

 

My first attempt at utilising spray paints as a medium which I then hand painted the black linear elements. I thoroughly enjoyed this project, created on a wall approx 2.5 x 4 metre in size, rendered and prepped specifically for this project. Future works will integrate typography and patterning as I attempt to expand on my technique and establish my style.

The original artwork for the Minirig shop launch was scheduled to be created by a big name Bristolian graff artist but after bieng let down, I was then tasked to create something. This piece is celebration of all the in-house designs created by Minirig and was designed and hand painted within a 2 day deadline. Created with spray cans and paint pens.

Ideapaint were born out of the US creating unique wall treatments that enable company spaces, to become creative spaces. Yes, now you can write on the walls and not get told off, its a dream come true. Its not just me who thinks so to, Ideapaint have provided their magic to the likes of Facebook and Nike. I have been fortunate enough to be invited to Clerkewell Design Week at the Orangebox showroom in London, for the past 4 years. Its a truly inspirational week of talks, interactions and creative ideas all blended together in a melting pot of innovation and design.

Xero  - Accounting Software

Art Direction / Illustration / Digital Design / Painting

Website
 

 

How do you visualise data? Cloud data to be precise. When Xero expressed the desire to create an attractive piece of art to enhance their head office, this was the challenge I set to myself. Working with Christine Prince - Head of Workplace Experience, we developed the concept of visualising the very thing that makes Xero possible, translating the physical into the digital and back again. The resulting piece consists of a tsunami of data, interacting with iconic buildings from across the globe: New Zealand, US, Canada, UK and Asia.

Minirig  - Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Art Direction / Stand Design / Live Art

Website
 

 

This unique project consisted of both digitally designed elements and freehand ‘Live Art’ created during the event at BPM, Birmingham. The concept of the stand draws on the company’s unique engagement with its customer base and the passion around the product. The key elements of the overall design are the products unique features (center) and its global reach and engagement from its social streams (right-hand side). The mural created during the event was based on the concept of the ‘evolution of sound’, from the caveman to the gramophone, with the Minirig itself bieng the latest stage of the evolutionary journey.

Moor Beer Co  - Brewery

Live Art / Illustration / Painting

Website


I was invited to create a live piece at the product launch of Moor Beer Co, at the old Tobacco Factory, Bristol UK. All I knew going into this was that I wanted to create a mystical piece, one that positions Moor as established, with depth and intrigue. I had no idea of how large the canvas would be, where it would be positioned, nor the shape. I wanted to create a shrine like structure around the outer edges which ended up being formed from apparatus used to brew beer. The almost Masonic, mystical, yet humorous nature of the piece captured the kind of feel I was aiming for, horray for spontaneity!

Christine Prince

Head of Workplace Experience

‘I can highly recommend Aidy Brooks he produced an amazing design here at Xero for our reception and partner experience space. Aidy researched our business and came up with a modern design that fits with the business. This was all completed with permanent markers, it is simply stunning and eye catching. I look forward to doing another fit out in the future where we can incorporate another wall drawing by Aidy.’
