Fanakapan Star Yard MagnaDonuts Mural

Earlier this month, street artist Fanakapan painted a new mural on the huge wall that is one of the buildings on the entrance at Star Yard. Fanakapan is a street artist based in London, and he paints silver balloons, chrome, and glass items. I've watched his style evolve over the past few years, and more of his work can seen at the bottom of this post. Earlier in the year, he painted a mural on Hanbury Street called "Follow the Leader", and this is still in place at the time of writing.

The new mural depicts glass stars with an astronaut figure as used in the MagnaDonut logo.

Another street artist named Envol, who sometimes paints alongside of Fanakapan, has painted two pieces in Star Yard at the same time. One is in the doorway at the base of the large mural, and the other is in the square itself.

This is a large-scale and stunning piece, but my photographs did not do it any justice as it is a difficult piece to photograph in certain lighting, and every time I have seen it, it has been too bright or too dark.
