A new video has been released documenting the painting of Kenilworth's new mural.

The landscape of wild flowers was created on Station Road last month by Tim Robottom (Lord Numb) and Gordon Landsburgh (Mig 29) of Brink Contemporary Arts.

Brink - which was launched by Mr Robottom in 2010 - took just a day to completely transform the substation wall with the eye-catching design.

And now a video has been released by Luke Spate (The Art of Brotherhood on social media), documenting the creation of the mural.

The video is the first in a new series which will document creative work in the town.

"Celebrating Kenilworth is an attempt to capture the magic that happens in the beautiful Warwickshire town of Kenilworth," Mr Spate wrote on the video description.

"Their are so many magic moments happening here.

"If you would like to feature in an episode or you would like to support in any way please contact Luke Spate via DM on www.instagram.com/theartofbrotherhood or email [email protected] .

"I am happy to discuss possibilities and speak to anyone in Kenilworth."

And while it is in its early stages in Kenilworth, Mr Robottom is hoping to put together a collection of art pieces in Kenilworth.

"I want to create a smaller version of the trail in Kenilworth," he explained. 

"But I would also like it to include some of the benches, the community gardens and other peoples' work. 

"I want it to be a Kenilworth public art trail and as more works appear, they can be included. 

"I am hoping the councils will help fund it, and potentially get English Heritage involved. 

"It would be great if it could start from the station and head to the castle and do a big loop of the town."
