“I have always found that getting proportions exact is a bit difficult working at large scale, and you need to keep in mind that colours should contrast to be visible at further distances, which is why I tend to use bold black outlines. When working on paper, you can really concentrate on minute details, but when painting a mural you have...

“In the beginning of our process there’s no significant difference as we always sketch and draw the illustrations on paper first. But naturally, considerations regarding composition, scale and colour palette may vary when we’re creating a work for a specific location and of a particular size. We always focus on making the piece as eye-catching and impactful as possible.”...
“Fear of heights while painting big murals and at the same time extreme exhaustion from painting long hours and travelling a lot. It’s hard work but I do enjoy projects like this because they push me to my limits. Another obstacle has been working with whoever you have in the moment, thus learning to improvise, and all this comes from...
“I much prefer working on a larger scale. I love the social aspect of it, sussing out the vibe of the place and getting to know the locals, and living like one. Our murals tend to be quite site specific.”...
“I would say that the main differences are practical, because on a visual level my works for publishing or advertising are very similar to those on walls. Of course, when preparing an image for a wall painting, perhaps of large dimensions, this also counts in the design of the image itself. I also know that I will be less free...
“One of the reasons I started my artistic career in graffiti was that I could paint my letters and custom characters on a larger scale and in several places at once. Drawing on paper is something essential and that’s the most important stage for any creation, but the freedom you feel when painting outdoors is unique, the surroundings are a...
“The biggest obstacle for me in making murals is the technical organisation of the process. If I paint in a small town, it can be difficult to get ladders, aerial platforms or the necessary paints and I have to bring them from other cities.”...
“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...
