The post Rogue One is Transforming Glasgow, Scotland, Into a Street Art Hub One Mural at a Time appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>Despite working almost exclusively in Glasgow, Rogue One earned a reputation as one of the world’s most famous street artists and it isn’t hard to see why. His works cover a wide range of subjects, including fantasy scenes and pop culture characters, while exemplifying master artistry in realism and stunning attention to detail.
Additionally, the artist isn’t too picky about his canvas or the scope of his creations. He will do grandiose murals that cover the entire side of the building but will also be happy to take on a project of bringing color to a plain passageway with a smaller piece.
“Glasgow (like any city) needs color, and people are enjoying seeing these large murals start to pop up around the city. I would like to think they are, lol. As one person said to me ‘it brightens the place up and gives you something to smile about on the way to work’,” Rogue One explained in a recent interview.
If you don’t have the opportunity to visit Glasgow and see Rogue One’s works in person, don’t worry. The artist regularly shares his newest murals on social media. Scroll down to check out more of them.

]]>Most of Doras’ murals can be found on the walls of Montreal’s buildings or sometimes on the city’s streets. They brighten up the grey urban surroundings and captivate passersby. If you come across one, you’ll instantly know it is one of his works thanks to its large scale and unique and recognizable style.
His works are colorful and give off a dream-like atmosphere. Doras packs them with ornaments and iconography while using contemporary fantasy as a source of inspiration. They often tell a complex story that leaves it up to the viewer to put the pieces of the puzzle together by unpacking the true meaning of each prominent element.
According to Doras, he uses his illustration background to create the murals, which ” feature objects, scenes and characters that might easily have been ripped from the pages of a book.” You can check out more of his works by scrolling below.

I like keeping as active with work as much as possible.”
With a background as both a musician and skateboarder, his roots more often than not sneak into his work, with punk rock nods to the likes of Henry Rollins, The Ramones, and Fugazi. His distinctive style has also been embraced by a plethora of skate and surf companies (including Vans, Toy Machine, and Santa Cruz Skateboards), but he has also caught the attention of more mainstream brands, with features and collaborations with the Washington Post, Urban Outfitters, and Dr. Martens.
“I grew up skateboarding from the age of eight years old,” he recalled. “I was in a band through my twenties also, but I don’t play music anymore. Skateboarding actually got me back in to my art about six years ago when I designed a bunch of skate graphics for my friend’s skate company called Crayon Skateboards. I always dreamed of one day seeing my art on a wizz plank.”
Sadly, he adds, both his skateboard and bass guitar are gathering dust as he’s too busy painting these days. Scroll down to see some of his work:

“Exploration of nature, more specifically of the animal world, can lead to increased empathy,” ROA explains his inspiration with animals and nature. “It teaches you something substantial about how one should live a good life.”
This talented artist usually uses minimal color pallet, with black and white being predominant in his works. Another impressive thing about his works is that he doesn’t use sketches, preferring to immediately go to work.
