Artists We Love :: Swoon
Brooklyn-based artist, Swoon brings a whole new meaning to the term “Street Art.” With her wheatpaste masterpieces spread throughout cities allover the world, it’s hard to miss the artist’s uniquely designed characters and cityscapes. Being a Brooklyn native, her art truly captures the essence of growing up in New York City. Although mainly a street artist, Swoon’s work has been showcased in some of the world’s largest contemporary museums, including MoMA’s P.S.1 and The Brooklyn Museum.

Definitely one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. I figured since it highlights some really cool artists, I’d pull it out from the depths of the internet and share it with world. You can check it out here, along with some other cool short films made that same summer
