Sincil Bank Street Art proposals

Following my trip to London for the Kickstarter funding session, and having explored the street art in Brick Lane, I went for a look around some potential sites for murals in my local area in Sincil Bank.
This gable end house overlooks Pelham Bridge, and currently has some particularly bad graffiti on the lower part of the wall.


My proposed work is located close to where my son was once suicidal.
So I've gone for some 80's nostalgia, with the neon text reading "I'm holding to the edges of the light you leave behind" - lyrics to FM-84's Wild Ones
For all the kids lost to suicide.


A variation on the same theme. 


Another concept for the same location. Brimming with 80's nostalgia, lyrics are from The Midnight's Memories written in reverse "Everything is clear in the rear view mirror".
Visible to traffic travelling south over Pelham Bridge, the cathedral appears reversed in the rear view mirror driving into the sunset leaving the city.
Travelling north, this image would appear in the rear view mirror approaching the Cathedral.


An early variation of the same theme.


A proposal for a smaller wall. Quote is from FM-84's Wild Ones.
Benguiat font from Stranger Things over white noise and kids playing out in the street - the kids to take back ownership.


A massive neon mural of The Funk Lordz Chromeo on this gable end house.


Another proposal to brighten up a graffitied wall with Chromeo - it would be more likely to have something from Night By Night here, but I don't have any photos of Chromeo performing that live...
