Thanks Darragh.

Also just to note that the #BikeBunkers tender and contract was designed to enable the other 3 local authorities in Dublin to use also - saving them the procurement effort and time.

So same as #DublinCanvas, it's a solution for the Dublin Region.

A traffic light control box on a Dublin street is being painted as part of the Dublin Canvas project. The box has a sketched outline of a running figure with arms stretched forward, ready to be filled with colour. A printed reference design, showing an abstract multicoloured version of the artwork, is taped to the box. Beside it are painting supplies including a tool box, step stool, and a high-vis jacket. In the background is Gresham House, a brown brick building with a blue entrance sign and a large golden clock on the wall. Two pedestrians, an adult and a child, walk past on the pavement. White text on the image reads: “Day 1 of this years @dublincanvas box! @dlrcoco.ie”.

Getting to see @dublincanvas.bsky.social boxes before they are finished is always amazing! 💗

Current favorite traffic box painting in Stepaside village. Fits for paddy’s day on Monday. — Thanks @dublincanvas.bsky.social #Dublincanvas

It's very personal, but I just see so much of Dublin in this frame. Possibly of my favourites shots since march 2024 when I picked up my cameras again and started off with street photography.

This artwork features vibrant, cartoon-like depictions of characters and animals on painted utility boxes in an urban setting. The central figure is an elderly woman in a red shawl, holding a cane, accompanied by baskets of fish and a young boy with a cat. To her left is a woman in a green dress with braided hair, gesturing dramatically, with a mischievous-looking wolf and a basket of fish below her. A smaller utility box shows a white bird, likely a seagull, with bright, bold colors and dynamic patterns. The background includes street elements, trees, and a bright blue sky, contrasting with the historical buildings in the distance.

A screenshot of a Chat GPT conversation where it was asked to "Describe this artwork to provide an alt text for social media" and it provides the alt text used in the other image.

Very progressively, Bluesky has ALT text descriptions switched on by default.

Traffic light control box with an abstracted frog with a crown. A woman walks past, and looks at it.

Where BETA began... @dublincanvas.bsky.social is now on Bluesky! 🙌

#DublinCanvas is an initiative intended to bring flashes of colour and creativity to everyday objects in the City.

Less grey, more play.
