Well, wonder no more as Lobos – a group of old gold-following artists – are the ones who have been spreading the Nuno fever.

The ‘howling Nuno’, which has appeared on the Molineux Subway, near the Slug & Lettuce bar on Queen Square and even outside the Express & Star offices, is their most recognisable design – and has gone down a treat.

But where did the idea come from, and why has it caught on?

“It was last season that it all came about. We saw what was unfolding in front of us, that something special was happening with the Portuguese influx and Nuno in charge,” said one of the group, whose members wish to remain anonymous.

“We came up with Lobos to mark the team’s awakening – the joy, excitement and optimism around the club again.

“Our imagery tries to sum up that Portuguese flair, but with a Black Country twist.

“There are three of us, we come from creative backgrounds, and a couple of us are designers by trade. We try to keep a bit of a low profile.

“We didn’t really know how people would take it, but nobody seems to have hated it so far!

“All the feedback we’ve had has been really positive.”

And the name makes perfect sense as Lobos is Portuguese for Wolves.

“We liked how it looked in type and sounded so stuck with it,” said the group member.

“Then we just went about creating the imagery you see and know us for.

“We wanted to put up imagery that tagged the city in colours and words of the of the old gold revolution that was starting to gain momentum, or as we call it, the revolucao.

“The paste-ups came later in the process as we thought about how best to put our work out there, and what better way than making a public gallery for yourself on the streets that people walk and drive on every day.”

It is not just Wolverhampton that the posters have pride of place in though.

Quite a few stickers have popped up over in Shropshire while some have even been spotted in Australia and America.

“We just try to leave our mark wherever we can,” the member added.

“Our work is always evolving and growing, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.”
