‘ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GRUBS’ APRIL 2022 MURAL WALL COMMISSION BY SNAILTEARS

‘All My Friends Are Grubs’ is the latest commissioned mural wall brought to us by artist, illustrator, jewellery maker and all round goblin-boy-king; SnailTears. 

A collection of creepy-crawly, cutesy creatures seem to be gathering for a ceremony perhaps, or a teaparty or a brawl, whatever the occasion is, everyone is in their costumes or is that just their skin?

SnailTears’ work is sensitive yet sickly sweet, and tenderly shows love to the unlovable, the monstrous, the wormy and the weird, the ugly, the scary and the hairy. As an artist, SnailTears explores themes of gender, mental illness, vulnerability, growth and gentle melancholy.
