Blu

Blu is an artist from Bologna Italy whose work I greatly admire.  It would be shameful of me not to mention him here.  Below is his most well known work, an animation called Muto:

Below are some of his gigantic wall illustrations. I really dig his style, but also his capacity to work BIG.

According to my roomate Bologna is a super socialist city which might explain some of the strong political content in his work.  I would highly suggest checking out his drawings at his website here.  They are quite different and have a distinct “blu” narrative.
