Check a teaser video inside, and the full list of artists.

The year end is coming, and so is the highlights and stats of the year in review as usual.

I’ve been following on Pedro Campiche akaCorleone‘s work for some time now. He just launched a hell of a video, showcasing his studio, methods of work, spraying and chilling. And this kid is a lefty, so creativity is surely not missing here. Check his video inside, done by IamfromLx.

I only knew what I’ve seen from the trailer and some more from the TED talks, but nothing could prepare me for this.
