Zany Zebras_303 - 22 August 2016

Zany Zebras is a large scale public art event organised by Marwell Zoo and held in and around Southampton from 16 July to 25 September 2016. I have already brought 'Before Zany Zebras' and 'Zany Zebras On Parade' to this site and my extensive coverage of the event continues now with pictures from the main event. My work aims to celebrate the hard work and talent of the artists, schools, colleges and other bodies who created the zebras as well as raising awareness of the event. To achieve this I shall post full figure shots, portraits, some shots which are slightly zany in their own right and some pictures of the zebras in the city landscape.

Zebra Name - Zoostar (Trail Map no. 21)
Location - Bargate Street/Castle Way Corner
Sponsor - Bluestar
Artist - Deven Bhurke

I am very pleased with this picture - not staged - as it took a lot of shots to get the exact juxtapostion I wanted of zebra with a sponsor's vehicle. Bluestar 2402/HF55JYY is a Mercedes-Benz Citaro bodied O.530N.
