    106. Kids Murals with Andy Pinder

    Andy Pinder is an amazing muralist. After leaving Art College, Andy began working in London as a Visualiser, Designer and Art Director, before relocating to Kent. Having spent many years creating illustrations and storyboards for film and television, painting wall murals became a natural development through which Andy could channel his creative and artistic skills. Naturally, this working method was, far, far away from the world of computers. However, Andy does still generate most of his mural designs using modern technology, before painting a Kids Art Mural.
