The European Garage in Fyshwick making an impact with up-and-coming artist murals

The garage in Isa Street has just added its fourth mural - Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield from Quentin Tarantino's classic Pulp Fiction; the character's Big Kahuna Burger spiel among his many menacing moments.

The powerful work, which stands tall next to the basketball hoop in the garage, joins other murals in the workshop by artists Lucks, PAW and Lachie Taylor.

A pinball machine, custom hoodies and t-shirts and even wandering garage dog, Basil the French bulldog, add to the funkiness of the workshop, owned by Dean and Amber Hayes.

Lawrence, 29, was thrilled to add his work to the emerging gallery, saying he had been slayed by depression, but a return to creating artwork two years ago pulled him out of his funk.

The hard-working artist is also a dance instructor, graphic designer and brickie's labourer. His calling card is "small guy, big ideas".

Lawrence's other artwork can be seen across the city, including at restaurants and shops. He is working on a mural now for Ronin Games in Woden.

"I was always drawing and painting but then kind of lost touch," Lawrence said.

"My friend introduced me to this spray paint shop in Braddon, Sancho's Dirty Laundry. Got a couple of spray cans and started spraying."

Dean Hayes said he and Amber wanted to support emerging artists and their customers appreciated the unique space.

The garage has been open for three years and Amber was the creative force behind its arresting look.

"I think the customers really like it. I don't think you'll find it in any other workshop," Dean said.

"Eventually, one day, it will be filled with all different kinds of murals."
