Friday Round up:
We’ve had quite the exciting week!! We were featured on Tumblr’s Storyboard with a behind-the-scenes video. Hear from company founders Adrian and Paul, and follow our muralist Jason as he paints a large-scale mural for Etsy in freezing temps, here.
The video was also picked up by Hypebeast, Swissmiss, DefGrip and more. Our many thanks to the stellar Tumblr storyboard crew for making such a rad video!
In other news, we’ve reached over 500 fans on Facebook! We love what we do and we feel so lucky to share it with you all. If you haven’t already, like us on Facebook and help us reach the big 1,000.
Lastly, have you seen one of our logo walls in the city? We’ll send the first couple people to send us a photo a sweet Colossal tee. Learn more, here.
Happy weekend!
While on the job, our painters are constantly being asked questions from passersby about the project they’re working on. We’ve found that people deeply appreciate and admire what we do and how much work goes into to painting a photorealistic image. In fact, this admiration goes beyond physical interaction- photos of our painters are always popular on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Here’s some of our most liked:
BBCA Doctor Who’s album on Facebook attracted over 28,000 likes and 545 comments.
Etsy shared photos and garnered over 200 likes- and the photos from the street popped up all over Instagram!
Bushmills has posted photos of our handpainted walls and has gained over 300 likes, shares, and comments.
Happy Friday, everyone! This is a wall we just finished for Etsy’s holiday pop-up shop (which is open now in SoHo). We were super excited to have Tumblr along to film the process- we can’t wait to share that video with you all!
In the meantime, here’s what’s going on in our hood this first weekend of December:
