A Cork TikToker brightens up Patrick’s Street with a fun video, showing how a splash of color can transform the area.
In his video, #PaintingPana, he shows how a fresh coat of paint can brighten up dull buildings. The video has already gained over 30,000 views on TikTok. People are loving it and want to see these changes in real life.
Kevin starts with a shot of the Savoy and nearby buildings. They look pretty bland in their light colors. Then, he jumpcuts to an edited version, adding vibrant greens, browns, and oranges. It’s a total game changer!
He doesn’t stop there. Kevin also revamps other spots, like Søstrene Grene and the Gentlemen Quarters. He even adds a colorful mural over Holland and Barrett. You’ve got to check out the full video!
Talking to CorkBeo, Kevin shared that this project is close to his heart. He loves Leeside and wants to show how small changes can make a big difference.
He reminisces about how lively Patrick’s Street used to be. Back in the 80s, it was full of bars and restaurants. Now, it feels more like a retail zone, especially after hours.
Kevin, 35, grew up in St. Luke’s but now lives in Douglas. He works part-time in content creation, showcasing the beauty of Cork with his high-end drone footage. You can find more of his work on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
