COMMUTERS CLASH WITH GIANT WOMAN
-Second giant statue unveiling for the Capital-
LONDON, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007 - LONDONERS are being besieged by massive human statues, as a second gigantic, life-like model is unveiled in the capital to mark the launch of London Ink (Discovery Real Time, 10pm Sunday 23rd).
Hot on the heels of a super-sized swimmer revealed at Tower Bridge on Tuesday, Victoria station is getting the London Ink treatment. Commuters will have to struggle around the huge figure as they battle their way into work.
Like something out of Alice In Wonderland, the giant female figure is sprawled across the station’s concourse one, her upper body squeezing into a photo booth. She is 16ft long and 7ft high and is and made out of reinforced polystyrene and hand painted to resemble human flesh.
On her back is a tattoo of a London pigeon, designed by star of London Ink Louis Molloy, best known for being David Beckham’s personal tattooist and ‘inking’ the world’s most famous tattoo, his Guardian angel.
London Ink launches on Discovery Real Time on Sunday 23 September at 10pm.
