TWIN brothers Craig and Carl Bailey are hoping to raise their profile as artists by displaying their comic style sketches at council offices in Chippenham.

The brothers, aged 24, from Pewsham, Chippenham, have been drawing since they were young boys and take their inspiration from comic strip characters.

They have launched their own business Baileybrothaz and created a comic about gangs based in Los Angeles, called Bloodz n' Cripz.

Now their artwork is being exhibited in the reception at North Wiltshire District Council offices in Monkton Park, Chippenham.

Carl Bailey said: "There are a lot of superhero comics out there that are good but we wanted to do something real.

"We had some success with our first comic and have since created a second one and are working on a third.

"Our artwork is quite mature but we have decided to draw a kids' book like the Mr Men books, just trying all types of genres to see what works best and importantly, what sells."

The artwork will be on display until next Friday.
