There Is Big Street Art,

and then there is this huge piece of street art,

that many will have seen on the cover of  The New York Times Magazine's recent Walking New York issue, the design and photography team created its most ambitious cover to date in a collaboration with artist JR, an image of 20 year-old Elmar Aliyev was printed across 62 strips of paper, pasted onto the street in the early hours of a morning and photographed from a helicopter, pasting the image together took around three and a half hours and resulted in the 150ft-tall image appearing in the morning, according to editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, who wrote about the project on the NYT website, 'the sun came up, pedestrians began to wander over Aliyev, just as JR had predicted, they often walked right over him without even noticing, to make out the image, you had to be high above', I wonder if there will be a bigger piece of street art in the future?
