Eco Art: Edina Tokodi / Mosstika

Graffiti has always been a controversial art form, but recently more and more art emerges on the streets that literally livens up the urban environment with eco friendly and living materials. One such artist is Edina Tokodi.  Her growing moss installations invites the passerby to interact, touch and follow its growth with time. They become little self sustaining community owned gardens in barren concrete deserts, and subtly conveys a message of environmental responsibility and awareness.

Illustration Inspiration: Victo Ngai

Victo Ngai's illustrations of gigantic creatures wonderfully composed and coloured in beautiful hues and textures immediately caught our eye! They transfer you to a world of wonder and adventure, surely more intriguing and magical than Alice's Wonderland. We love the way she works in human interaction with these colossal living things.
