Dear Liverpool Mural Project, my name is Reuben Shiels and I came across the Liverpool Mural Project whilst doing research for my dissertation and thought that it was a great idea. I would like to pledge my full support to the project and have even included a photo of me and my paintbrush to show my enthusiasm. I consider the project's aim of visually enriching urban working class areas with murals, whilst helping to regenerate them economically through the tourism the murals will certainly attract, is a particularly noble one. Living in Northern Ireland myself it is also encouraging to see mural artists, as members of the often opposing communities, working together for the public good. Anyway, good luck, I’d love to get involved in the paintings, or just help out in any way and this would give me a good excuse to visit Liverpool. All the best, Rueben.
