People must be familiar with the Art Below project by now, established since 2005 in the London underground. Turning all that advertising space, where 150,000 people pass by an hour, into art space. Well, if you’ve been one of those people travelling past “Leicester Square Station” recently; you’re in for a treat. Our beautiful animator / illustrator friend Rosa Lykiardopoulos has a wonderful piece up over there right now.

The results are unique to each artist’s style and expertise, creating a wonderful collection of artwork (a small publication might also be in the pipeline, fingers-crossed).
