THE LEGEND OF PAPADALUP
In August 2016, Antio's and I joined forces and got commissioned
to create an indoor mural for Papadalup, a new cafe - bar in Koukaki - Athens. The mission was to depict our vision of Papadalupapadipu,
an interesting fictional myth about a flower, which the owners liked
as a mural concept and name for the bar.

ABOUT THE CONCEPT & THE MYTH
The myth describes a fictional plant, whose pod cures the common cold immediately for men. However, when women eat the plant, they grow a mustache and in two weeks suffer a relapse.
The plant is said to grow on Mount Mypos on the Mediterranean Isle of Mypos, the fictional country of Balki Bartokomous.

THE SKETCH
We decided to draw a humoristic scenery were the main protagonist Papadalupapadipu, our hero plant, throwing seeds across the scene. The mermaids eat the seed and eventually grow up mustaches and get sick, while a sailor lies happy under the shade of the plant, enjoying the day.
MURAL PROCESS
THE FINAL RESULT
The mural was completed within two days, and all pictures are from Phi Factor Photography and Natassa Pantazopoulou.
