BARNSLEY-based artist Adam Briscoe is gearing up for his biggest challenge yet.
In the next few weeks the 33-year-old will be doing a mural at the entrance to The Glass Works.
“That’s really exciting for me – I’m looking forward to it. I’m hoping to do it on a Saturday so some people can come out and watch,” said Adam.
““I’ve also got big plans to do something at the motorway roundabout in Dodworth – perhaps a ‘Welcome to Barnsley’ mural.I think that would be a really cool thing to do.”
Adam is hoping to become the town’s answer to Sheffield’s Pete McKee – and he’s well on his way after already completing a number of eye-catching murals across the town.
His long list of work includes a mural at The Garrison, work at HCAT’s headquarters and bright artwork of Parkway Cinema and Penistone Paramount.
He showcased his work on The Arcade earlier this month – and it’s been seen across the globe recently.
“It was about showcasing all my work,” he said. “I was at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival the week before doing street art.
“It’s a weird game is art – you’ve just got to put yourself out there. You’ve just got to push yourself.
“I’ve had people from America and Canada get in touch asking to buy some of my work which is great.
“I take a lot of inspiration from Pete McKee – I want to be Barnsley’s answer to him.”
