Toilet Murals

SODAS
Restaurant at 29th and Dunbar in Vancouver, Canada



Toilet 1

To enter this bathroom is to enter a toilet bowl. Sit (or stand) as the water swirls around you, and watch as various 50's stars cope with this dilemma in their own way. Don't mind the guy looking into the toilet bowl. He's harmless.


ENTER THE TOILET!


James Dean looks cool in any situation. Alfred Hitchcock calmly wrestles with a murderous hand of water. Elvis (with legs shaven and 4 toes-WHO KNEW?) surfs his way down the sewers.


Initial colour sample.



Toilet 2

Entering this room, you will first find yourself in a space capsule with a sink, papertowel dispenser, and glorified gumball machine.? Beckoned by the call of nature, you leave the safe confines of the spacecraft for a toilet in the middle of a harsh martian landscape.? Amoungst the red dunes, beneath the star speckled sky exists a world of 1950's sci-fi activity!


Gumballs cost as much in the future as they did in the 1950's. There's that creepy guy again, looking in the window! So, Elvis really was abducted and had a two-headed alien love-child!


There's potential for crossfire over the toilet, as Flash Gordon faces off against his enemies. At some point, Superman must be in the awkward position of having his pants around his ankles.
