Mixed Media Done Well.

Despite all the bright lights and colours of this shopping street in Harajuku, I was immediately drawn to this outdoor piece of mixed media art, designed to draw custom to its neighbouring skate shop. For a few seconds I thought it was some actual graffiti, which I guess you're supposed to as it links well to the common themes of skating. It also took me a while to notice that its partially painted, and partially photographic imagery. It's been done so well it avoids the cheap, GCSE mixed media art effect that it could easily have achieved, while making it difficult to identify which areas are done using which media.
