Daubist Mural No. 1

this mural was designed by driller jet armstrong alone.
david bromley was one of the artists driller used to do a small section of the mural.
Approx 3 other artists were also commissioned by driller to add their work as specified by driller to the mural.

A revamped version of the cheesy 1980’s mural about families which formerly took its place, the Alien Frome Saturn is a surrealistic take on the old work.
Following the general plan, the relatively minor changes made to the mural when it was reworked in the mid 90’s elevates it from something boring to something quirky, and interesting.
Although I can barely remember the original work, which was executed about the same time as I was born and had begun to fade beyond recognition by the time I was a cognatively functioning human being, my understanding is that the additions were as follows:
1) The aliens flying in the sky;
2) The grafitied canvass school bags;
3) The «hollow» girl on a bike leading to a sea/​skyscape;
4) The conditions changed from day to night;
5) The Old man’s incecream having melted due to the pasage of time.
Change no 5 is my favorite and in my opinion really elevates the work as it provides a narrative with the former work. Rather than this being a defacement of a prexisting mural, the mural was worked completely anew over the place where the faded mural formerly was situated. In this sense it is something of a homage and an update to better suit contemporary tastes.
