Combo

This video has been circling the web for a couple of weeks but it bears repeating. “COMBO” is the newest animated graffiti film from Blu, whose previous work “MUTO” became a YouTube sensation. This time around he collaborated with street artist/animator David Ellis at the previously blogged FAME Festival. Both of these films are amazingly inspirational, using already wildly experimental take-no-prisoners street art, and then using time lapse animation to create cartoons. Graffiti artists have always used buildings and urban spaces as canvases, its a great leap of imagination to use them as animation cels.



And by the way, don't overlook the rest of the art created at the FAME Festival. Some truly remarkable images which will change the way you think about street art.
