There are few times in my life that I see something and my breath is taken away. I am massive fan of art but like many of us, I don’t have the time to go to galleries enough. Luckier enough, while watching diggnation, I saw a video that simply was amazed. The video is truly impressive, as it is seven minutes long animation. The animation was made by painting an image on a wall, taking a picture, repainting the wall and taking another picture. Consudering that for each second of film there could be as many as 26 frames, that is a lot of pictures. Even if they painted only 13 images a second, that could be as many as 5460 painting.

The video was by a morden artist called blu. Blu it turns out is a big deal in the art world and is famous for coming his images on public spaces on walls. Looking at his blog, I found he also did a massive painting on the side of the tate modern. I really enjoyed this painting, I look forward to seeing more from this artist.
