Kid’s bedroom mural with a skate-boarding dinosaur, toucans and mountain 🦕

Bedroom mural with a skateboarding dinosaur and toucans 🙂

Parents Justine and Daniel wanted a mural to brighten up the walls of Benji’s brand new bedroom.

They knew exactly what characters and colour scheme they wanted…definitely a stegosaurus, definitely mountains, and most definitely a toucan. (Or three!)

Projects always start with a collaborative Pinterest board, one of the images in which prompted Justine to ask “can we put the stegosaurus on a skateboard?

Why not! 😀

Toucan hanging from a shelf, named ‘Bedside Bob’

Flying toucan, named ‘Flapping Frank’

Toucan on a light switch, named ‘Roy’

I had such a lovely time painting this mural, made even better by a wonderful family, a view of the hills from the window, and constant company from Lisa the cat…who liked swishing her tail against fresh paint! 😻
