Southdowns Dog is inspired by the countryside surrounding Brighton and Hove and celebrates the natural resource of the National Park. He echoes the flight of the Snowman across the Downs, with aerial views and imagery of sheep grazing, iconic windmills, winding paths, wild flowers and rolling hills

Attention to detail
I would like to thank my Snowdog team for all their help and support in bring Southdowns Dog to life. I would particularly like to thank Heather Edwards, Morwenna Garrett-Bannister, Genevieve Obermuller, Erin Fairall and Elania Carmina Budau for their hours of masking/stencilling and for keeping me sane and for making the project so much fun for me. And also, Kim Williams for photographing the end results, Richard West for taking Southdowns walkies in and around Brighton.
Nearly there...
