Ernest Zacharevic
Ernest Zacharevic's outdoor street art illusions are just wonderful. In combining his paintwork with real life objects and incorporating it into existing surrounding he brings a smile to your face. This Lithuanian artist signs his lighthearted work with "ZACH". It isn't your standard wall graffiti, and by using 3D objects he creates real depth to his work.

NOT A BUG SPLAT
In military slang, Predator drone operators often refer to kills as ‘bug splats’, since viewing the body through a grainy video image gives the sense of an insect being crushed. This giant art installation targets predator drone operators, find out more about this project here.
French artist JR fly-posts big black and white images in public spaces, trying to create awareness of local and world problems. He described himself as a photographer. He started out as a graffiti artist not really interested in changing the world. At age 17 he started using large photocopies of his photographic work, applying it on rooftops and outdoor walls, saying: : "In the street, we reach people who never go to museums."
