Based in Bologna Italy, Blue makes very large scale images of monsters and figures often involved in scenes of barbarity. These have the look of cartoon creatures or characters of Greek mythology. Drawing is an integral to his work. He uses a very limited palette which has the effect of highlighting his fascination with line and form. I use this paint just to fill in the drawing he has said. Blu sees buildings as sheets of paper. I would think my favourite artist Banksy feels the same. Due to their massive scale his works often give the impression that the buildings aren't quite big enough. What is great about his work is the he makes doodling on an epic scale look easy. His influences come from comic book artists such as Robert Crumb, and the inspiration he take from Italy. This is something I wish to take from this and it is to find things around me that inspire me.
