Out & About! WHAT YOU’VE BEEN UP TO!

WATCHING CEET FOUAD WORK
World-renowned, Shenzhen-based graffiti artist Ceet Fouad was seen painting a mural in DB on April 16 right by the Discovery Bay Recreation Centre.

The mural features Fouad’s stylised and compelling trademark chickens or ‘Chicanos,’ which he started drawing when he first moved to China to show waiters what he wanted to eat! Fouad’s vibrant murals can be found in cities across the globe from Atlanta to Toulouse, and it’s so good to see them in DB!

SHINING A LIGHT FOR MISS MELISSA
The community came together on May 22 to celebrate the life of long-time DB resident Melissa Thornton, who passed away on April 7, aged just 54.

Melissa, Miss Melissa as she was known to her pupils at Future Stars Dance Academy, was loved by so many in the community: she was a brilliant teacher, supportive mentor and trusted friend. Everyone who attended the memorial at Three Sheets Marquee Bar was asked to wear something bright to honour the way Melissa shone her love and light on all those around her. She is greatly missed.
