King Kong climbs out of this art mural by Jacqui Oakley and Jamie Lawson

Jacqui Oakley and her husband, Jamie Lawson from Poly Studio were recently flown down to New York by Basecamp and Flexfit to do a mural for the Agenda NYC trade show. It's a forum for street wear lines such as Brixton, Reebok, Herschel and Vans - with a strong emphasis on style, art, music and culture.

They were given a big 12×8′ freestanding wall and kindly had free reign to play with a New York theme, so of course they came up with a huge King Kong painting. Here's a lovely bunch of images to see their work in progress, along with an ever-so-satisfying time-lapse video for all you wonderful creatives. Enjoy!
