New artwork for Deeside Way

by Rachel M, posted in campaign

Last year Aberdeen Cycle Forum commissioned some artwork for Deeside Way, opposite the wall we had painted a few years ago. The same artist – KMG Yeah – came up with the design and completed it just before Christmas last year.

Paint wall showing the surfer on a skateboard carrying his surfboard and the leopard running with a black dog.
The far end of the mural with the silver-haired cyclist on a recumbent.
The middle of the mural with the cargo bike and an apple tree.

We’re delighted with the end result which features a leopard – the symbol of Aberdeen – a surfer to represent the nearby beach, a local dog called Trufa, a cargo bike filled with local produce, and a silver-haired cyclist on a recumbent.

The funding for this is thanks to a grant from Sustrans ArtRoots.

More winners from our No Idling competition

We had so many terrific entries to our No Idling competition and decided to announce two more winners. This takes the total number of winners to five students from schools in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

Amelia Walker from Westpark School created a fantastic, colourful poster. We especially love the bike in the bottom right corner. A large waterproof banner is in the process of being made for her.

Poppy Bernard from Ferryhill Primary School. We love how Poppy has captured the flow of air pollution here to show it goes everywhere, affecting people and animals. A large banner has been created and given to Ferryhill Primary School for Poppy.
