"Where the Wild Robots Are" - A New Mural by Robots Will Kill.

BrooklynStreetArt.com curates the Espeis Outside gallery space with Brooklyn street art favorites Veng and Chris from the collective Robots Will Kill (RWK).

Veng and Chris worked two days this week to complete the brand new piece in which they pay tribute to the childrens book Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak, published in 1963. It's a concept they have wanted to paint for a while and their selected scene is a composite of both their painting styles and a few of the scenes in the book. Together they bring the viewer in touch with the power of imagination.

In the original story, the main protagonist, Max, is banished to his room by his mom for acting out around the house and basically being a little punk. While hanging out in his room he begins to imagine a slew of monsters and a jungle and eventually he escapes into a place where he has power over everything and everyone and becomes the King of All Wild Things. Veng and Chris have depicted many characters of their own on the street in the last few years and decided to create some new ones to play the roles here. Vengs photo-realistic boy looks at peace afloat in this parti-colored boat as he sails toward a cluster of Chris's big comic-book bright monsters. Inspired by the whimsical nature of escapism playtime for kids and the untamed imagination that they have, RWK let their own imagination run wild.

@salomeeeefff and @hundemannfrau

They made this BEFORE the movie came out. They were doing it from the way they looked in the BOOK. And I think they did a great job :) SO stop complaining and go back to your Justin Bieber videos.

@hundemannfrau i totally agree with you it does look ugly i cant believe these people think its "art"! =) <3

[fuckmealex]

I could not agree with ricasa more. And it seems if there is an original idea it was made by someone from another country. For instance Ji lee and the bubble project in NYC.

sorry but that billboard looks got damn ugly

Why the american works are almost always related with the brands, films, and other commercial iconography...

This is not exactly a criticism, it's just that this made me think...

However the painting is not bad, but I have to be suspicious and think that after all this is not a casuality ( it's like a "cool" and "trendy promotion of the film).
