This freaky, eerie animal art is characteristic of ROA graffiti left all over the Americas, from California to Mexico and the Caribbean. The skeletal works are almost aesthetically three-dimensional. Depicted with incredible detail, ROA's most recent work may be scary to look at, but it is certainly hard to take your eyes off of.
These two pieces were finished over the course of two days this past weekend in Chicago; one can only imagine what this amazing artist can accomplish in more time. The other pieces from ROA pictured above and in the video are similar in nature, but there are various animals depicted in each.
The process by which ROA completes his work is just as much a part of what makes this art so special as the final product.
