With artists like Darrin Umboh, elevator rides could become a lot more stimulating thanks to creative, highly colorful artwork. Umboh was commissioned to decorate the inside of an elevator shaft in in Antwerp, Belgium.
"This fully illustrated elevator-shaft is one of the recent projects of the Dutch rep agency Shop Around - mainly representing illustrators, graphic designers and animators and motion graphic designers," Josh Spear says.
