See You Through It billboard
An unofficial paste-up by the street artist See You Through It (Mando Marie) over a disused billboard: twelve stencilled portraits of the same small girl in two rows, signed SEEYOUTHROUGHIT. The same artist is painting the council's new town-centre murals this year.

The work is a paste-up rather than a commission: the artist has taken over an empty advertising hoarding with twelve repeats of one stencilled portrait, already weathering and peeling, which is part of the look. It carries the artist’s tag, SEEYOUTHROUGHIT, in the bottom corner.
See You Through It, the street artist Mando Marie, is working with Gateshead Council in 2026 on Off the Walls, a series of murals across the town centre funded by the government’s Pride in Place Impact Fund. The first, of two twinned figures setting off on an adventure, is on the former Wilko site; more are planned for gable ends and shop shutters. This billboard is the only piece of theirs inside our district so far.
Paste-ups on billboards do not last. If it has gone, tell us and we will mark it as such.
