00:13 We're here today at Cowgate, can you tell us a bit about the project you're working on at the moment?

00:16 So we are painting a 1908 picture of Cowgate for Peter Rue positive basically,

00:24 and sort of capture a bit of the history of what this street once was and how nice it looked.

00:29 Yeah, what's been the inspiration for the actual mural itself?

00:32 It was all instigated by Peter Rue positive, like I say, originally we looked at doing the wall opposite,

00:39 just on the other side of the road, on the side of the queue club, so that was our actual first site.

00:45 But then this building is under conservation, so we had to apply for planning permission, so it was a bit of a change.

00:51 But yeah, the idea is that what you're looking down here is the same street you're looking down there, just from a different time.

00:58 Good, it's great to see more artwork like this, it's really bright down at the city centre.

01:02 I say yeah, a couple of people have come by already, said that the artwork makes them happy, makes them cheerful,

01:07 so they're looking forward to seeing it, so again yeah, artwork makes people happy.
