About This Piece
The piece on Morrison Road, created through a collaboration between Taketo Kobayashi and Casey Kawaguchi, was inspired by the idea of a futuristic, mech samurai and showcases the combination of the artists’ individual styles. Casey created the wall painting (face and background) using spray-paint. The helmet is Taketo’s work, designed digitally, printed and pasted on top of the character with wood glue. The symbols in the corner mean “connection” and “tied.”
