A stunning 8ft sketch entitled Music Hell has become the focal point at a Bradford pub.

Visual artist Glenn Hustler’s array of anecdotal drawings and cartoons depicts the journey that many budding stars make through the pop music machine.

His work, which is at the Delius Lived Next Door pub on Claremont, was done using only a permanent marker pen.

Mr Hustler, 28, who has worked at the pub – which is known for its Indie crowds – for several years, said: “It grabs people’s attention every time people walk in, and I think they see new things every time they look at it. Bands come to play here every weekend and we like to appreciate independent artists. It’s certainly a talking point, and I think there’s something in there that everyone can relate to.

“I did all of it using only a permanent marker so there were no room for mistakes, and once something was down, there was no going back.”

The artwork took Glen about 75 hours to complete – and features in the middle an X-Factor panel. “It’s a cynical take on the X-Factor culture and the chart market,” Mr Hustler said. “The clientele that come into the pub finds it hard to get excited about the manufactured music that we hear too often, and this represents the cycle that they all seem to become involved in.”
