Laser Murals

These laser murals were “painted” onto sides of buildings with light and videotaped (below) for the London based Green Car Cab company, Green Tomato Cars which consists completely of Toyota Prius hybrids .  Illustrators working with Dentsu London skilfully created these images and they are still spreading around the Internet. They remind me of Picasso, when he did his light paintings. The difference is he could not see what he was “painting” only after it was captured with photography.

Evidently, there is some controversy about who the originator of this laser painting technology is, GLR or Denstu, so you be the judge. Interestingly enough, however, no one gives credit to the music, which I’m using for Kick-Starting the Weekend. I just wish I knew who it was…..Found with some searching!

Uncannily, I wrote about this Dentsue company and their light painting back in September with this Text Art post. They now have a Penki (painting app) available.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
