His style is unique and appealing, and the scale of his work is very impressive. Here’s an interview from 2004 of BLU on WoosterCollective, the best site I’ve found venerating everything street art.  Of course his murals are very impressive as they are, but the videos can really make your jaw drop. If you have a 1/2 hour and your mind to blow, then watch some of these hand-picked videos of BLU in action. This guy’s legendary.

If you are down with it, or haven’t given it a fair shake, you need to check out Wooster Collective. As they put it, “This site is dedicated to showcasing and celebrating ephemeral art placed on streets in cities around the world.” Since 2001 they’ve been paying homage to an artform that sadly is commonly treated with contempt and often considered criminal. Keep up the good work guys!
