Cardiff City mural down The Bay

Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:01 pm

On the side of Mischiefs, James Street. Artist's name is Yusuf Ismail.

Nice to get a bit more vibrancy and colour in a quite souless part of Cardiff, maybe we can get Mick painted on the side of the Castle if he get's us promoted :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Very good although I do get the impression quite a few will look at it as an eyesore for the area.

it should be a brown background and not red. Red does not go down to well with me there.

I cycle past it whenever I go to the Bay and the wall's been red for years I'm pretty sure, so it's not the artist's decision at least. Also from an artistic point of view Red and Blue are very complimentary colours, Orange being the direct opposite of Blue on a colour wheel, so it makes sense for a quite bright vivid piece like this.

so if your going to a game wearing blue you avoid walking past red houses ? god forbid someone might take a picture of you and assume your red brigade...
surely the point is he changed the colour and not the colour he changed it too....

I can 2nd that, its been that colour red for years, nothing to do with artists choice,just saved having to paint whole wall beforehand.
