Artists are constantly looking for new places to showcase their work. Canvases can range from a piece of paper to a brick building. In this case, ‘The Ghostvillage Project’ gave six artists, Timid, Remi/Rough, System, Stormie Mills, Juice 126 and Derm, an entire abandoned village on the west coast of Scotland to paint.
What resulted was a slew of painted buildings which breathed eerie life into this old village. Check out the entire video to see the inspiration behind ‘The Ghostvillage Project.’
