Where vandalism meets verse—transforming bus shelters into seaside poetry that celebrates Takapuna's coastal charm, while deterring urban decay.
Design of anti-graffiti illustrations for the Takapuna Bus Shelters in Auckland. These site-specific illustrations were reproduced in white vinyl, taking advantage of the beachside location by using the well-known verse 'I do like to be beside the seaside' and developing a vibrant, free illustration that draws on printmaking style aesthetics. The white vinyl illustrations not only celebrate Takapuna's coastal setting but also help mask scratches on cut glass, providing both decorative and practical anti-graffiti benefits.
