The ongoing debate about street art is still echoing in the corridors of the local councils, who are planning the next street art cleanup. All the while, street artists continue to make their mark on the city landscape by shocking, thrilling and stunning the public with their unique art pieces.
One that I have come across recently is PosterChild, a great street artist based in Toronto, Canada. I love his electronic billboard takeover piece of Jesus as well as other portraits illuminated by the public street advertising billboards.
Well done, PosterChild! You can also see the "making of" video below.
