00:00So, tell me where we are?

00:02Yeah, I'm iDogSize, we're here at Cosham Station and I'm painting a wall for Look Up Festival.

00:09It's nice to paint in Cosham, move my way out of the city a little bit and paint a wall here.

00:14It's a great spot and with a little help from some of my friends and followers,

00:18I was suggested that we put an NHS worker in the reflection who worked at QA

00:26and then loads of people suggested this lady, Jax, who has sadly passed away

00:30but she was a midwife up at Q&A and had a massive impact on the midwifery community,

00:37trained lots of midwives, birthed lots and lots of babies

00:40and when I put that shout out, her name was pretty unanimous.

00:43So, I popped her inside the reflection of the aisle.

00:46Fabulous. I understand there's been a slight having to tweak it slightly

00:50because there's a massive pole as we can see right in front.

00:53Yeah, it has been a bit of a challenge.

00:54There is a great big pole right through the centre of the piece and I didn't want a white line down through

00:58so I've been busy working on actually making the pole part of the painting as well.

01:03So, the pole will disappear if you stand in the right place and look at it.

01:08How tricky was it?

01:10This bit has been a bit of a challenge.

01:12It's involved lots of stepping back, looking, taking photographs, trying to line things up

01:17but I'm getting there.
