MUTO a wall-painted animation by blu

I probably have posted this before, but what can I say?  Blu has been one of my favorite filmmakers since stumbling across his work in a Chelsea Gallery.  Do yourself a favor and dig around here for more of his work.

Recommended Viewing: More BLU – Combo w/ David Ellis

My favorite film of last year was BLU’s building piece. It may well be my favorite internet viewing of all time. My stomach’s been growling for something new from him to consume. What a delight to wake up and find this on my plate.

Best Film of 2008: Blu

I saw another installation/film of Blu’s awhile back at a gallery in NYC with my family and we were blown (bluwn?) away.  In that one you could see him painting the animation but this one, sans human, with the sun and clouds working as the clock, adds onto the prior one’s promise. 

Right now, this is my favorite film of the 2008.  This guy’s imagination soars — and thus does the same for mine.  My son had loved the first one as much as I did.  You might want to scout this one first before screening for the young ‘uns as it is a tad freaky — but good freaky fun if you ask me.  
Of course it is ultimately graffiti and you may have to explain that one, less your walls start to change.  Not to mention the explanation on why Buenos Aires is looking cooler than NYC.
