Mulga is always stoked to paint a mural close to home! so he was happy to be commissioned to paint this cool school mural at Caringbah high.
The brief for this one was one of Mulgas signature aussie birds with a bit of a twist, tucked within its lovely feathers is all symbols of the students favourite subjects. Theres also a cheeky koala catching a ride on the cockatoo.
Theres often scope with school murals for students to assist Mulga on the brushes, and Caringbah high selected some lucky art students to help paint the mural alongside Mulga, which was helpful as the grout lines on this one were rather challenging.
Mulga likes to write a weird poem or story to go alongside his creations:
This is the story of Caz the Cockie
Once there was a Cockie named Caz and he lived at the school and every day after all the kids went home he'd sit in the area and do loud screeches and stuff.
The one day this dude came and started painting a picture of him on the wall and he didn't know what was going on.
It didn't seem right so he started squawking heaps loud but the dude kept painting so Caz flew over to the dude and started attacking him and pecking at his eyes and biting his ears.
Then the dude ran off and Caz never saw him again and the half finished painting of Caz remained on the wall for the next ten years until they installed a skating rink in the spot and on the wall they put up a sign that said Skateplus and Caz's half finished portrait was finally gone and Caz breathed a sigh of relief.
The End
