An incredible Gavin & Stacey mural has appeared on the side of a house in Wales, commissioned by a resident from Dinas Powys ‘who thought the side of her house was looking a bit drab’, reports WalesOnline.

Anya Clements tasked graffiti artist Tee2Sugars with the job of painting a mural of Gavin, Stacey, Nessa and Smithy. The mural also features other key characters Gwen, Bryn, Pam and Mick. Those strolling past the wall five miles away from Barry Island where the TV series is based can see the mural en route to the nearby train station. Dinas Powys is also a location used on the Gavin & Stacey set …
The artwork has, however, been met with mixed reactions from some fans… ‘Love it! Not a mirror image but who cares! Bet the Mona Lisa didn’t look exactly like her muse, yet it is known for her smile (OK it is a bit smaller.) Think it’s sort of stylised graffiti.’
