Tate ModernI’ve been doing a little bit of looking into the artist that did those animations I posted earlier . His name is blu and he’s got a sensational site. I originally thought he was using some sort of advanced animation technique for his wall art, but his site details his step-by-step process of what’s essentially stop animation of his larger than life graffiti across cityscapes. Some works span across two sites in two cities. What an amazing artist.

Anyway, it turns out he’s becoming something of a phenomenon – they don’t just let anyone turn the facade of London’s Tate Modern into a work of art.

The site is definitely worth a look.
