SMALLKID DESIGN

Graffiti, street art, murals & creative projects from Nottingham

Smallkid Design is the creative practice of Kid30 (Smallkid) — a Nottingham-based graffiti and street artist with over 25 years of experience painting walls, running workshops, exhibiting artwork and creating visual work for businesses, venues, festivals and public spaces.

Rooted in the grassroots graffiti and street art scene, Smallkid brings that energy into commissions, murals, set design, paint effects, exhibitions, workshops and collaborative projects.

From a hand-painted wall in a local bar to large-scale murals, festival artwork or a creative workshop, every project is approached with the same aim: make something original, bold and built for the space.

MURALS & COMMISSIONS

Have a wall, venue or space that needs some life?

Smallkid creates bespoke murals and hand-painted artwork for businesses, public spaces, hospitality, events, festivals and private clients.

Projects can range from graffiti and character-based artwork to lettering, street-art-inspired pieces, paint effects and more considered site-specific work.

How it works

1. Get in touch
Email info@smallkid with your wall size, a brief description of what you’re looking for and, if possible, a photo of the space.

2. Let’s work out the idea
We’ll discuss the space, style, budget and what you’re trying to achieve. A site visit can be arranged where needed.

3. Design & approval
Artwork is designed specifically for the project and agreed with you before painting begins.

4. Paint it
Once everything is approved, Smallkid brings the design to life on the wall.

Smallkid also works alongside a network of skilled artists, allowing commissions to be matched with different styles and creative requirements.
