Costa del Sol artist giving away FREE mural in Olive Press Christmas competition

A COSTA del Sol artist is giving away a free mural in a special Olive Press Christmas competition.

Tony Faulkner, 48, from Barnsley, is a self taught airbrush artist who has created celebrity portraits of the likes of Amy Winehouse and Winston Churchill.

“I have been into art since I was a young boy, but graffitti opened up my world and led me into airbrush,” he told the Olive Press.

Based in Sabinillas, Manilva, he has sold his works and created amazing commissions for dozens of expats along the coast over the years.

“This is my way of giving back after receiving so much support from the local community,” he added.

“The mural can be for a home, restaurant or any type of business.”

To be in with a chance of winning, simply share this article on Facebook and tag the Olive Press in the post, and ‘like’ Tony’s Facebook page here.

The winner will be announced on December 18.
