GRAFFITI artist David Cross decided to brighten up a derelict pub in the only way he knew how - with his spray cans.

He has created this stunning Miami Vice mural on the side of the old Bush Inn at Kingstone, a pub he used to work in.

"I asked the brewery for permission, they told me I could paint what I wanted because it was such a mess," said David, 36, a youth and community worker of Honeywell Grove.

Details about David's work can be found at David Cross Graffiti on Facebook.
