Mop & Bucket mural

Mop & Bucket is a local shop which is a treasure trove for almost anything you could possibly need. 

Owner Sarah wanted to encourage more foot traffic into the shop and advertise the range of lesser-known items they sell, including gardening tools, hardware and DIY materials. 

The shop is an LGBTQ+ friendly space and we wanted to create a shopfront that was eye-catching and welcoming to all, especially women and non-binary people. 

The design concept features three figures striking a pose with tools. I drew inspiration from voguing and ballroom culture and the Muses from Hercules. Bright colours make the window pop and the finishing touch was some friendly lettering to guide people to the door. 

(It should be noted that voguing with pointy tools is not advised. Learning more about the ballroom scene absolutely is though, it’s incredible.)
