Here's our final painted Gromit for Gromit Unleashed. He'll be on display at the Arnos Vale Heritage site in Bristol, so catch him if you can!

Our Gromit for Gromit Unleashed

As we mentioned back in March, we were selected as one of the lucky 80 artists to take part in the Gromit Unleashed trail taking part this Summer. Last week we travelled to Bristol and painted our 5ft Gromit. It was a labour of love as we'd never done anything of this kind (or scale) before so it was an amazing experience and real learning curve for us. We painted the 5ft sculpture of the popular claymation series over a period of three days. It's now finished and will be laquered up to join the other 79 Gromits that will be lined the streets at popular locations in Bristol this summer (lets hope its a sunny one!).

Below are a few of the sneaky peeks of our work in progress as we're not allowed to reveal the whole finished piece until they're unveiled on the trail in July. We'll post more photos in July when its out in the wild! To find out more about the project and to visit the trail this summer check out the Gromit Unleashed website here.

A 5ft Gromit!

We're proud to announce that we'll be one of the 70 artists getting to paint a 5ft Gromit statue for the Gromit Unleashed Charity Exhibition in Bristol. We're really excited as its for a great cause (the statues will be sold after the exhibition with all proceeds going to Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity) and we're huge Wallace & Gromit fans (hopefully we'll get to meet Mister Park!). For now we have to keep our design very, very top secret as to keep a bit of mystery for the big unveil in July. But we'll be sure to keep you in the loop on the progress of our painting of the statue, so stay tuned over the next couple of months for updates and sneak peeks!
