# Sky-Drawn Artwork (UPDATE) Thomas Lamadieu Uses the Sky as His Canvas for Painting By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-for-painting References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/thomas-lamadieu-art-scenes-into-the-sky-04-19-2014/) & [tlamadieu.wix](http://tlamadieu.wix.com/roots-art) Using the sky as his canvas for painting, Thomas Lamadieu creates beautifully rendered illustrations in this [mixed media artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series). The artist has done a few of these works, and his latest pieces are just as good as the last batch. After taking a photo of the sky surrounded by buildings, Lamadieu uses the blue space as the area to create his illustrations. According to the artist, his "artistic aim is to show a different perception of urban architecture and the everyday environment around us, what we can construct with a boundless imagination." Considering one usually has to take a second look at these illustrations to see how the buildings frame each drawing, Lamadieu certainly achieves this feat with his latest works of quirky character artwork.
