So I have been trying to buy a farm for a bit now. I have had an offer on a place accepted. It is a short sale so that doesnt mean that I will get it as the bank has a lot of stuff to approve first. I am going to build a small barn on the place if I get it. I have permission from my lady to paint it up however I want to. I was thinking about making one side of the barn a giant city mural. The other side of it is probably going to be an animal farm mural. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on what to paint for the city side. Obviously the badge could be a part of it but not the whole thing as the barn will obviously be longer than it is tall. Any suggestions?
How goods your painting? I suspect the surface its going on would influence stuff too. Think I'd go for just the badge and stripes. Let us see some before during and after photos if you manage to pull this off!
I am ok when it comes to painting. I have never done a mural before though so I do not know how it will go. I will post photos as I go, it will be a while as I have to get the place and then build the barn. Maybe I will sketch it out and then upload it for opinions.
Massive team picture of faces from past and present, good and bad...chillo waggy carter Deano skipper Payton jay jay Edwards jenkinson askew de mange. F me you'd need a massive barn!!!!!
Maybe do a mural of the entrance to the KC then you can walk up to it and kid yourself that you are going to a match over there in California from time to time!
A full sized mural of Steve Bruce's face. You know it makes sense. Then, on the other side, you can do a kind storyboard with stick men of important moments of Hull City history, culminating in the copious vomiting of Alex Bruce. I want to be involved in the creative process, perhaps as a consultant. Feel free to ask for guidance, I won't charge much. Yours Party!
How about painting a crowed scene ( a section of East stand maybe), with a picture of you, smack bang in the middle ,with your City scarf aloft.?
Ellewoods, I say Ellewoods, Ellewoods I've had another idea... Steve Bruce in action poses! Such as, fighting with Steve Agnew or, digging a large hole or, throwing a grenade or, blowing a whistle...you know the kind of stuff. Makes him look heroic, and strong. Tell us what you think. Party!
Method Step 1 Move the barn to Woods Lane Cottingham. Step 2 Invite players, Aaron for example to pop inside for a moment Step 3 Close doors behind them Step 4 Determine scientifically whether they can actually hit a barn door from the inside. If you have any banjos and cows a similar experiment might be considered as to whether they are capable of striking the rear of a bovine with a stringed instrument.
How about pictures of all our kits over time? There's a website called historical kits that shows them all. Or if you reckon you can do people then Deano's volley at Wembley?
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this sooner but can you clarify which animal farm you wish to depict? I'm hoping it's the George Orwell one and not the other. Back to the barn. Are you getting a load of Amish around to help build it? If so then as a show if appreciation you could paint the current city players as Amish folk on the barn wall. Complete with pudding basin haircuts, great big wafters( I may have to clarify what these are) held up by braces and topped off with the famous Amish beard. You could even do half the team dressed as Amish women, bonnets, long frocks the lot. I'd definitively recommend Steve Bruce as a woman, it has a strange appeal. I'd photo shop an example if I could but I can't so I won't. If you're not getting the Amish simpletons to build your barn then let me know and I'll have a re think. Hope that helps.
I've always pictured Ellewood in dungarees, so i reckon its the other one. Beards!! On our players!! ****ing gingers with beards no no, it'll look like a team of *****'s
Quinn would actually look more like a leprechaun than a *****. Imagine Brady with just a beard and no bangers and mash. He'd look the epitome of an Irish simpleton.
Maybe Steve Bruce going over the top in World War 1 with a Tigers kit on with Mcshane next to him dressed as Rambo, that would be a nice mural
I feel we should really let ourselves go here, throw off those chains that bind you. Open your mind. So, I propose a 2nd barn serving no farming purpose whatsoever, but solely consisting of several Alex Bruce ventriloquist dolls seated around a round table, vomiting at one another in some kind of rhythm. And people pay to go in to watch, and be coated. As for the mural, managerial and playing staff (past and present) depicting important historical events? Terry Dolan discovering America, Phil Brown getting shot like Kennedy...Steve Bruce on the moon. I mean I'm just riffing here. Brian Little's Tuck Shop? All worth mulling over, Ellewoods.
Jimmy B lying in a heap, with a huge Kenworth, Peterbilt or White Freightliner about to squash the waster flat.....
Can't we just stick to showing a bit of gratitude to the people who built the barn eh? I'll allow a mural of Gary Brabin giving the Martin Luther King speech and that's it. Just to appease Party. Oh alright Les Mutrie giving the V sign ala Winston Churchill and that's as far as it goes.
The Orwell version. I didnt know there was another version. That mural will be the orginal rules of animal farm being painted with one change. Rule #7 will be changed to say "All Animals are Equal unless they support the White ****e". It will just be me. Back when I lived in VA two of my neighbors had the Amish come in and build their Barns. There are no Amish out here on the west coast as they only live on the east coast or the mid west.
Ellewood said the Amish live miles away, so they could take a while to get here (yes, I just got off the plane Ellewoods, such an exciting project) as they will insist on being brought by horses, no doubt. Will that put it all at risk? I sure hope not. Ellewoods, where's the nearest paint shop? Is it called a 'store' over here? I'm no expert. It's hot.
