Leigh984, The creative portfolio of Leigh Spencer

A disused toilet block on Townsend Road in the center of the Leicestershire village of Enderby has been transformed with a Street Art/Mural piece by artists Rebecca Bromley and Ellie-Rose. Enderby Mission Church and Enderby Parish Council commissioned the work depicting various scenes from Enderby`s History after securing a grant from the Enderby Co-op 'Local Community Causes' fund. The artists met with Enderby Heritage Group and explored ideas for the work. The main (front) of the building depicts the pink/red brick houses of enderby and quarrymen returning home from work at the quarry, the background depicting the roads that the quarry stone was used to construct. The right-hand side wall contains images of quarry trucks or 'hoppers' a competition was held for residents to create a design for the side of each truck which attracted entries from a wide age range.  the left-hand wall depicts a 'frame knitter' at her loom using local wool to create product...

A look at street art created by artists along Leicester`s Short Street. Leicester is fast becoming the place to be for street artists, a previously unremarkable shortcut from the city center to St margarets Bus Station short street has been transformed with bight artwork on both sides of the street. The street now features works by many artists and even contains a portrait of internationally popular comedy character Mr Bean !. My film takes a look at some of the artworks and aims to give an idea of the scale but a visit to this hidden Leicester gem is thoroughly recommended.

I visited St Margaret`s Underpass in Leicester which in association with GraffHQ, Graffwerk and Leicester City Council has been recently (at time of publication) designated a Legal painting site or "Community Zone"  for artists to create Street Art. In my film I take a look at some of the work on display in the atmospheric location and we see artists like BenZArt working on their pieces as the traffic of the city passes overhead.
