Drawing on the Street and Drawing in an Ad

Two nice examples of drawing working well on both a street art billboard and an animation for a Nike Women campaign. The billboard is drawn by Hellovon, a London based illustrator.

The Berliner Dom/Disney/Hokusai

Street artist Jaybo has created a Hokusai influenced projection onto the Berliner Dom, the largest cathedral in Berlin. The image is comprised of cartoon hands that linked together make up the shape of the wave. The result is pretty spectacular!

Kanye West Teams up with Takashi Murakami

Kanye West has teamed up with Japanese artist/designer Takashi Murakami. Both the song and the video are pretty cutesy but definitely worth a watch.

Slinkachu at Cosh Gallery Soho London

A new exhibition to launch in London this week - "Ground Zero: Little People in the City" by Slinkachu under the tagline "Little handpainted people, left in London to fend for themselves". I would try to explain the results of his work, but the blurb from the gallery does a great job:

"Slinkachu has taken street art to a new scale,
painstakingly hand-painting tiny characters that live
in a world that’s too small for us to always notice
beneath our feet. His street installations are
constructed in all sorts of public spaces, the portrayal
of little lives that mirror our own. Working in miniature
opens up the city landscapes in unexpected ways
and this is explored in Ground Zero where he literally
brings you down to a new level.
Ground Zero is both street art installations and
photography. The two go hand in hand with the
subsequent photograph uncovering his hidden
world. The show depicts the little fears and anxieties
of city life and the general feeling of being alone or
insignificant in a large city. While the scenes reflect
the loneliness and melancholy of urban life there is
always an underlying sense of humour and feeling of
empathy"
