A pizza restaurant on Brick Lane (near Star Yard) has become then mural for new Fanakapan street art. A couple years ago, Fanakapan painted the same walls here with a giant astronaut (you can see it from the link at the bottom of this post). This year, a pizza shop occupies the restaurant. According to the artist on his Instagram page, the artwork was inspired by the creator of PacMan, Toru Iwatani, who was inspired by seeing a pizza with a slice removed.
Like many of his other artwork, it is stylised as if it were a foil balloon floating above. In this case, the balloon covers the corner of the building.
Fanakapan also created another mural recently in collaboration with Brazilian-based street artist Cranio, featuring his little blue men.
Below are a few older pieces from Fanakapan that I don't think I ever posted or posted in another post.
Below are two that were heavily tagged over in a short amount of time, before I could capture a good photograph. So, I took them from the artist's Instagram. They're a little more rushed than the other work.
