Cadillac Mural & Typographic Illustration by Mark van Leeuwen
I've been following the work of Mark van Leeuwen for years, especially on his Instagram. His stylish works in lettering and type clearly made a difference in our day-to-day with typography. We are taking a look at this very cool mural for Cadillac (Europe) painted in Munich, Germany for what they called: Stroke Art Fair. You just gotta love the colour contrast used with a simple black and white, I personally do love the 360 approach taken on the car display to show both sides of the car instead of one.

Move the World Mural Drawings by Deck Two
Very cool project title for a mural drawing by Deck two who is an artist from Paris, France. Entitled: Move the World, we follow him on this absolute beautiful drawing showcasing the important landmarks of the World. It's quite stunning and I can't even imagine the level of patience it would take to work on this kind of project. Props to Thomas for his incredible dedication! One of my last mural project in Memphis, Tennessee. A huge 2,6 x 13 meters long panoramic view in the entrance of JKI offices. That mural embraces all the famous places in the world that the company has been reaching through the years. Long days of work to complete this freehand mural with just a couple of Molotow acrylic markers. I chose a small 2mm nib to get as much details as I could so the visitors could stare at the walls to discover all the hidden details. I hope you guys will like it too.

Digital Natives Mural by Ben Johnston
We would love to share some of the recent work from our good friend Ben Johnston who is a designer & letterer from Toronto, Ontario. It's always an inspiration to see what Ben is working on and quite impressive as well. We are taking a look at this mural for Digital Natives, what is so cool about this piece is the text effect expressed which is some kind of a distortion that for us would be quite a good jam on Photoshop. But imagine on a mural? The result is just stunning, props to Ben!

La Saint Paire: Creative Tandem
I don't work with my hands as much as I would love to. So I do admire the people that work hard with their hands, especially with mural painting. It's a crazy long process with many layers of steps for such an impressive result. With no particular taste as what kind of art from graffiti, lettering or even a mosaic piece of art. We are showcasing the work of La Sainte Paire and their work is simply (as they well put it) Tout-Terrain. This creative tandem has it all as different as complementary field, sharing their time on paper to develop a unconventional style mixing symbolic references, caricatures, typographical games , comics, absurd characters in ever more surprising designs as one to another. They turned and reinterprets everyday scenes, objects and images with humor to immerse the viewer in their more than offbeat. Each composition is full of details, it is a real tote ubiquitous references in popular collective memory.
