Cosmo Sarson.

Cosmo Sarson is as cool as a cucumber when it comes to delivering a lecture. Cosmo sarson was our visiting artist and told us about his career and how its blosoming and how he never thought he would be in the job he is in now and kept reminding us its 'whatever pays the bills'.
Cosmo is a street paint artists and does a lot of commissions for famous brands and has actually paired over one of Banksey famous works.
Cosmo has moved directions and had to learn new skill to apply on the way. He has self taught to use computer design to build staircase designs for movie sets.
Cosmo has had numerous jobs and hasn't always got to do what he wants 'to pay the bill'.
Cosmo is now working with famous directors on movie sets such as mamma mia and (name dropping) Tim Burtons Sweeny Todd.
Did you know that the mamma mia wasn't actually filmed in greece?? They took a photo and built the set and cosmo painted the background! COOL.





Cosmo got the chance to paint a murial, (legally) and chose to do 'breakdancing Jesus', this went viral and made cosmo a public figure and gave his his breakthrough. 










Cosmo also did an 'Interactive mural'. Cosmo has painted various portraits and then has used a mobile phone app to make his mural come alive.
