Illustrating a room

This is a video of a couple of illustrators, the bearded ladies from Brazil. I find their work quite amazing, I like the style, the collage quality to it, but what I really like is the scale of the work, they have drawn on the ceiling and walls, it will have taken days. I like the overall effect and as a designer sitting in that room it would inspire me all the time. Each section of wall tells a little story.

There are also other objects done in the same style. A black car with white roof that has illustrations on them, a paper wallet, a series of fridges, sunglasses, chairs, the design for the front of a vending machine and a shoe box for Nike. They must go through hundreds of permanent makers, especially when experimenting too see which one works best on a new or different surface than they have used before, like the car and the fridge.

I first found these illustrators on a blog about up and coming illustrators.
