Giraffe Mayor, Market and Mural!

Photograph by Georgina Wilczek, Littlewolf PR

Ingrid has been working on some unusual and interesting projects, which began with a portrait of the Mayor of Durham as a giraffe! Commissioned by Durham Markets Company, the painting was presented to the Mayor on her last day of office. Durham Markets' Facebook page gives details of the event.

Further 'giraffication' of the Market can be seen behind the Mayor! The giraffes, who appear to be on their way into the Market to do their shopping, are part of mural that Ingrid is working on for Durham Markets.



The photo above shows the first stage of the mural, featuring giraffe characters Raph G. Neckmann and his wife Maureen Treeging, with their youngest toddler son Littl' Nicky.

Ingrid first exhibited her giraffe art work in Durham and created her highly popular greeting cards 'Durham Goes Giraffe', 'Rowing with Lots of Neck' and many others including Christmas cards.

These were initially launched at the Craft Fairs run by Durham Markets so it is a real 'coming home' for the giraffes to feature in the entrance!


Ingrid will be working on the mural in between all her other projects, and more of the favourite giraffe characters will gradually be added!


The above photo shows further detail added to Raph, Maureen and Littl' Nicky, who are looking up at a 'shelf' on the wall.



Ah! This is what they are looking for! A 'Giraffitude' cake, tall mugs suitable for long-necked giraffes to drink out of, and a giraffe teapot and milk jug.




Durham Market - what a nexcellent place for the Neckmann family to have a lovely afternoon tea while on their day trip from Giraffe World!

Keep a look out for more and more giraffe characters and items to be added to the mural ... Necky Becky is neckst! You can see updates in the Forthcoming and Ongoing Public Events section of this site.
