Venus with Flower-Filled Hair Mural
Painted for The White Rooms beauty Salon in Liverpool. Thanks to the White Rooms Clinic for the commission (extra brownie points for the generous tip). Those tricky roller shutters again.
Painted in June 2020
Graffiti Girl mural
A mixture of pure art and graffiti tagging art. A clash of two styles. Painted at House of Colour Academy on Bold Street Liverpool.
The face is a beautiful model with piercing blue eyes and ruby red lips, both of which especially stand out as the face is painted in grey scale. Her hair is an explosion of colour, a mixture of graffiti tagging, flowers and shiny beads. The overall result is a symphony of styles and colours. Painted in 2020
Dr Rose Club Murals
Painted for Dr Rose Club in Birkenhead. The first mural depicts the Greek goddess Thalia, daughter of Zeus and the goddess of comedy. The second mural matches the name of the clinic and these murals were both completed in 2020.

Vaper Viper Mural 1
A green viper mural painted for The Vaper Rooms in Garston, Liverpool by Paul Curtis Artwork. The snake is in an aggressive stance with huge fangs on display and its mouth wide open. Three days' work, painted on a plaster wall with acrylic paint.
Vaper Viper Mural 2
The owner of The Vaper Rooms asked me back to paint his second shop, this time in West Derby, Liverpool. The idea was to keep continuity with his logo and snake theme, similar but different to the mural in his first shop. Here is The Green Viper 2. This time, I played around with wrapping the green snake around the company's logo, depicted as a silver medallion.
Lost Soles Mural
A time-lapse of the Liverpool City Mural painted by Paul Curtis at Lost Soles Clothing. The mural depicts many of Liverpool's famous architectural wonders, including The Royal Liver Buildings, St George's Hall, St John's Beacon, the Museum of Liverpool, the Port of Liverpool Building, the Royal Albert Docks and the Superlambanana.
The mural is in a half monochrome, half-bold colour style that is a bit of a trademark style of Paul's. The buildings are slightly simplified to increase the boldness of the lines and shadows. Lost Soles is an independent menswear clothing range that specialises in casual styles, highly popular with football fans. Their flagship store is located on Liverpool's Royal Albert Dock, which is where you will find this mural.
The Widnes Marcat
Keeping guard over the traders and punters at Widnes Market - the tiger in the flowers is an absolute riot of colour. The combination of the real and abstract elements of this street art work in amazing harmony.
Wirral Bathrooms Mural
This is an unusual little piece of artwork. The client literally wanted a picture of the building painted onto said building in a sort of infinite mirror effect. Granted that the building in the mural is a snapshot of the 1950's.
The aim of this piece of street art was to give the viewer a window into the past. They can literally compare the scene in the painting with the scene they are standing in front of. It is painted on The Wirral Bath Company's (which now occupies the building) exterior on Woodchurch Road, Birkenhead.
The building was the local Co-op in the 1950's
Elvis Costello, The Las, The
Zutons and Yachts
This mural is located above 81 Renshaw Records in Liverpool. As part of the BBC's National Album Day celebrations, this mural was painted by Paul Curtis in 2022. The theme for the 2022 celebrations was debut albums.
Paul and the team at 81 Renshaw looked through several debut album covers created by Merseyside artists. They wanted to include more than one album in the design. The rejected artists included The Beatles, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Cast, Echo and the Bunnymen and The Stands. No one was rejected due to their music or quality, but rather it was a design decision based on what images worked together.
In the end, the artists' debut albums chosen were: My Aim is True (Elvis Costello), The Las (The Las), Who Killed The Zutons (The Zutons) and Yachts (Yachts). These album covers could be merged together and work within the constraints of the building (i.e. the wall dimensions and the windows!).
The mural took three days to paint and was completed in time for the BBC National Album Day on 15th October 2022.
Johnny Goggles Mural

Scouse Bird Mural
A collaboration between Liverpool's most famous Scouse Bird and Paul Curtis Artwork. This is a time-lapse of the pink leopard print roller shutters that adorn her shop in Liverpool. The idea was to make the shop stand out on the street, and it certainly does that.
Scouse Bird is a bit of a phenomenon in Liverpool and beyond. Her fans are fiercely loyal and love her irreverent observations and upfront sense of humour. Check out her social media pages.
Coffee & Fandisha Mural
A beautiful coffee plant branch mural adorning the exterior of Coffee & Fandisha in the Baltic Triangle. The owners wanted to make the coffee shop more well-known and the building more beautiful. This mural has definitely ticked the boxes!
It's actually much cheaper, more effective and longer-lasting to promote your business this way than paying for advertising, it seems. Plus, you get a beautiful piece of art that you and your customers can enjoy.
Unfortunately, it should be noted that this mural has since been removed and is no longer visible, as the cafe has been closed down. Fortunately, numerous photos showcase what was once a beautiful mural.
