Welcome to the vibrant world of Jossiepops, where every wall tells a story and every splash of paint sparks a conversation. I’m Johnny Hamilton, but you might know me as Jossiepops, Bangor’s own mural maestro, diving deep into the colours and stories that make our city sing. Here on my blog, you’ll get an insider’s look into my latest projects, from towering tributes to local legends to the spontaneous street art that’s turning Bangor into a canvas. Join me as I share the ups, downs, and colourful turns of creating art that does more than just decorate—it inspires, connects, and reflects the heart of our community.

Whether you’re a local, a fellow artist, or just someone who loves a good art story, there’s something here for everyone. So, grab your favourite brew, settle in, and let's paint this town with stories.
