That looks really good. Not sure I'd want him peering into my bedrom window though. Perhaps there's going to be text with it that will clarify the choice of image. The mermaid and seascape on the pub by Hope Street are really lovely, and the beastie above the shops; they all combine to make the area quirky and interesting.

It could be that Martin Luther King was assassinated on 4th April 1968, so it's the 51st anniversary of his death.

This is brilliant. I'd love to see more in New Brighton, make it the equivalent of Derry - but with figures of peace.
