Artists Alex Pardee, Skinner and Lamour Supreme collaborated to create the 'TexAss Centipede' mural. The street art crew came together in San Antonio to take part in the 6-year anniversary of the bi-monthly Artslam festival. The festival invites artists to conduct live art by theme, inspired by local musicians and DJs.
The team put their sick minds together to create this human centipede-inspired mural. The tri-headed beast features a body from each artist. Cyco Simon, the iconic monster by Lamour Supreme a.ka Mishka, maintained king status at the head of the centipede. Besides reminding viewers of a violently uncomfortable horror, the TexAss Centipede is a masterful display of street art. The colors are vivid and engaging, while the detailing is crisp and clear.
