The Bohemian had a fire on Sunday may 27th 2012 and will have to be completely refurbished. Buzz and Andy have decided to have a mural on the boarded-up windows. Artwork by Penny Bearman, Source material provided by Bohemian Lovers:

June 20th Painted a green background, green because it works with the pink brickwork, I have started with abstract lime green shapes. My daughter just back from Uni is helping me...
June 22nd Bought a lovely gold colour- I am using exterior emulsion at the moment, though I will be adding the people in acrylics.. I got rained off before I got properly started. Could someone do something about the weather!
MURAL DIARY
June 27th I really enjoyed myself today, there were lots of well wishers and everyone recognised Buzz's portrait...
July 4th Fantastic weather today, sunshine with a breeze smelling of salt and just a bit of seaweed.
I've fleshed in the Unbreakable gin bottle left, putting the sculpture bust on its right at the suggestion of a helpful passer-by.
I'm really enjoying collaborating with the public.
July 18th, I've started the detailed portraits. Using oil paint to achieve a better quality. I've had lots of pats on the back today - thankyou everyone!
Olympic torch relay passes by tomorrow...
July 25th, Hot,hot,hot...
