Spray paint the walls of Dublin. Four real places every Dublin writer knows, alive with people walking past.
Get it on Meta QuestThe Liberties car park whose walls are the city's hall of fame: a bright spell between showers, the tarmac still wet, a rainbow over the roofs and the cathedral spire behind.
North Wall Quay at night: the old stone dock store with its bricked-up arches to paint, the harp bridge lit white over the Liffey, a tall ship at the quay and the red crane on its plinth.
A cobbled lane behind a Georgian square at golden hour: brick garden walls and old coach houses, and at the end of the lane the red, green, blue and yellow doors.
The derelict sea baths at sunset: the white pavilion, the changing cubicles and the granite bastion, with the bay, the pier lighthouse and the striped chimneys on the horizon.
Dublin red brick, calp and granite, and the white render of the sea baths, each with its own real surface for the paint to sit in.
A full colour wheel on X and skinny, medium and fat caps on A. Hold the can still and close, and the paint runs.
26 letters plus stars, crowns, bolts, hearts and arrows. Stick one on a wall, spray over it, peel it off.
People stroll the quays, chat in the lane and stop to look at your work. Buses, cars, a river cruiser, swans, sailboats and the ferry keep Dublin moving around you.
