Perhaps better known for his smaller pieces, stencils and wheatpastes, this large blue face by Beastie came as a bit of a surprise to me at Upfest, so much so that I didn’t even know it was by him when I photographed it.

This was a striking piece that stood out and grabbed the attention and would appear to have an environmental theme to it too. It is interesting that this year’s Upfest appeared to have quite a lot of large portraits, many in single shades of one colour – maybe it is a thing or maybe just coincedence.

Looking forward to seeing what direction Beastie takes with his street art as his work is always interesting.
Wow! Total surprise. Striking indeeeeed! Like you I can’t wait to see where he heads. Seems like a nice guy–at least that is the way he came across in a bunch of interviews i read.
