\nEat your heart out, Pixar!\n<\/p>\n

\nWatch this amazing animation created by an artist photographing a very long series of his murals.  The artist’s name is Blu<\/a>. He is an Italian graffiti artist, though it appears this series was painted in Brazil.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt’s a big deal to paint a mural. There’s a lot of paint to spread around. It’s a superhuman feat to paint thousands of them needed for this not-insignificant animation. Even more remarkable is the wonderful whimsy and creativity displayed by the final work.\n<\/p>\n

\nMy life is enriched and my spirits lifted when someone spends such a huge amount of time to complete such a non-comerical work — just for the pure beauty of it. \n<\/p>\n

\nThank you, Blu.\n<\/p>\n
