ARTIST Tom Cousins is hoping to emblazon gable ends on buildings across the Forest with HOOF murals.

The Coleford-based painter put the finishing touches to the clock-face on the fire sculpture at the rally, and has also replicated HOOF's oak-leaf logo on The Forester office in Cinderford High Street.

The logo was conceived in October by editor Viv Hargreaves in the same building, next door to MP Mark Harper's constituency office.

The Forest's answer to Banksy (except he asks for permission first) has a range of design ideas he is willing to paint for free to help the cause. Send requests to [email protected]">[email protected]
