As part of their 'On the Road' series, CNN gave some airtime to Poland's Etam Cru, a group of street artists who have helped make the Richmond Mural Project world-renowned.
You'll probably recognize Etam's handiwork right near VCU Campus - The massive blue-haired beauty in a bowl of strawberries.
Here's what CNN had to say, including calling them "Bigger than Banksy"...
From a tumbling jockey to a fantasy tree house, the artists employ a mix of modern styles and motifs from traditional Polish folklore.
Each piece takes around a week to produce, says Blejzyk, and the reaction from the public is usually positive.
"For us most the important thing is to create an illustration where people could stop in front of it and turn on their imagination for a couple of minutes," he says.
You can read more about Etam Cru in an interview we did with them earlier this year.
Here's a sample:
I noticed you used mostly rollers and brushes for your mural here… is that your preferred method for murals?
SAINER: Spray cans too.
BEZT: Yeah, some spray cans for details. It’s just easier to cover a bigger surface with a roller than with the spray paint.
SAINER: It’s faster and you don’t smell the fumes.
BEZT: You can also mix the color that you want and not rely on what is available in spray cans.
SAINER: Yeah, mixing paint is preferred. It’s also easier for our travels because not every country has the whole palate of all of the spray cans, so it’s much easier to use latex house paint. Everywhere has house paint.
