Not happy with his Tyrion Lannister, Visual Waste (web | Fb) turned it into Harley Quinn (in her more recent incarnation by Margot Robbie in the Suicide Squad movie) within a few days. The title of the piece is ‘Split the problem, not your personality’, giving the work a mental health message.
The mural was then quickly “enhanced” by members of TMN (second image). The wide shot, third below, shows the trio of Dan Kitchener’s The Dream, Friz’s Tyger, Tyger, and the Visual Waste piece.

Here is Faigy’s (Fb) piece for CNB/HTN17, taken before he had quite finished. You can see the completed work on his Twitter feed.
“By my calculations a cart wheel takes about 4 metres to do.
It is 50 miles to the Dark Hedges from here.
There are 1609 metres in a mile, so it is 80,450 metres to the dark hedges from here.
If travelling from here to the Dark hedges via cart wheels it would take 20,112 and a half cart wheels to get there.
A tumble over is roughly 2 metres long.
Its 330 miles to Skellig Michael from here.
There are 1609 metres in 1 mile.
1609 x 330 ÷ 2 = 265,485.
Therefore, it would take 265,485 tumble overs to Skellig Michael. For some strange unknown reason this essential tourist travel information isn’t available in Belfast so I’ll just have to add a sign post to this piece I’m about to finish to help people out …”
