Creepy Critter Graffiti

Street Artist ROA Finishes Two Eerie Animal Pieces in Chicago

— May 28, 2011 — Art & Design
This freaky, eerie animal art is characteristic of ROA graffiti left all over the Americas, from California to Mexico and the Caribbean. The skeletal works are almost aesthetically three-dimensional. Depicted with incredible detail, ROA's most recent work may be scary to look at, but it is certainly hard to take your eyes off of.

These two pieces were finished over the course of two days this past weekend in Chicago; one can only imagine what this amazing artist can accomplish in more time. The other pieces from ROA pictured above and in the video are similar in nature, but there are various animals depicted in each.

The process by which ROA completes his work is just as much a part of what makes this art so special as the final product.
Trend Themes
1. Animal Art - The trend of creating intricate and eerie animal art pieces is on the rise, creating opportunities for street artists and galleries alike.
2. Skeletal Works - Artists creating 3D-esque skeletal art pieces are taking the art world by storm, making it a disruptive opportunity for those in the street art and sculpture industries.
3. Incredible Detail - The trend of creating incredibly detailed pieces of art, such as ROA's work, is becoming more popular, providing a disruptive opportunity for artists, designers, and visual effects companies.
Industry Implications
1. Street Art - Street art has become a trend in and of itself, and with artists such as ROA creating eerie animal pieces, it has become an industry onto itself.
2. Gallery - Galleries are starting to showcase more and more street art, giving a chance for artists like ROA to display their work and gain exposure.
3. Sculpture - As skeletal works become more popular, sculptors are incorporating this trend into their works, providing new and disruptive opportunities for the sculpture industry.
