“For me, it’s much easier to draw on a small surface of paper first, to find an expressive pose for a character, and to compose the sketch more harmoniously. Then it gets trickier to paint outlines and re-draw on a large wall. On the project for the Apple Store, the characters were printed out, so I didn’t have to worry...
“We don’t make things on paper anymore. Now we sketch rough concepts on iPads, then move to Illustrator. We treat every project like a design project. We re-group the constraints and write our own brief. A mural is just a different output technique for us.”...

“My works have a lot of detail and that can be an obstacle. For example, in God Of Seigfred Hall, I had a series of illustrations with many details, textures, and patterns. I couldn’t paint all those details on the massive walls with uneven surfaces in a short amount of time, so I did research and found out that wheat...

“When I work on walls, the biggest benefit and challenge is that the mural is part of public life and on display all the time. This makes it very approachable and democratic, but also it has to work with different situations such as daylight, traffic and weather. It is out there immediately and has to be on point since it...
“One huge difference between drawing on paper versus on a wall is the use of the body in a physical sense. You can hide a sketchbook in your lap, or quickly make 10 little drawings; but when you are working on a mural, you use your whole body to draw. I also find that ‘conquering’ something bigger than you is...
“Working on walls is a lot more physical than on paper, which can make the end result all the more rewarding! Your whole body goes into it, for hours on end in the heat or the cold, so at the end of a day painting murals I often crash in the most satisfying and fulfilling of ways.There are also different...
“The biggest difference and challenge when painting on a wall versus on canvas or paper is the live aspect. I usually work digitally so I’m used to having the option to go back and edit my illustrations. When working with paint on big surfaces, that option isn’t really there anymore. It’s very challenging, but in a way it’s also very...
It’s good to get out of your comfort zone every now and then. Just before the world went into lockdown, Yok & Sheryo found themselves shipwrecked on a very sweaty tropical island… out in the surf getting heatstroked and looking back on their best memories from their travels, birthed “Yeahnahnesia” and “Heatstroke Hotel”....
“Every factor is different. With large walls, there is an excitement and energy that creates an outlet for a completely different experience. My process involves creating a digital sketch of a piece that is ready to paint on a wall. During this process, all the obstacles — space, etc. — are considered straight into the design.”...
“The use of paper for a preparatory sketch is often necessary for more complex pieces as it offers more flexibility for last-minute changes and is less time-consuming, but I find working on a mural directly offers more spontaneity. The artwork being guided by the motion of our whole body instead of just the wrist gives more flow and the larger...
