'Airhead' by SHOK-1


If you were combining spray paints with X-rays, you'd likely get this kind of art. British artist SHOK-1 painted this mural in Hackney as part of the inaugural London Mural Festival. It features a cool blend of art and science and I think SHOK-1 did an amazing job rescuing that bare, boring wall.
