PROFESSIONAL graffiti artist Nathan Bainbridge helps youngsters design jungle-themed murals during an art project at King's Mill Hospital.
Around 30 children, including current and former patients, took part in the scheme and produced a series of giant murals on Monday and Tuesday to brighten up outdoor areas of the hospital.
The colourful panels will be completed next month at outdoor graffiti sessions and displayed near the new temporary entrance before being moved to an outdoor play area at the new Women and Children's Centre in 2010.
Said director of corporate development John Williams: "We're keen to incorporate child-friendly art and design into the hospital to reduce the fear and anxiety that young patients can sometimes feel."
