isometric cityscapes of m-city

ambitious, ingenious, and impressive, m-city is a street art project being executed in poland (i believe). using a huge array of isometric illustrations cut into stencils the artists “build” sprawling cityscapes in paint. the illustrations themselves are pretty gorgeous, recalling the pixelated architecture of isometric perspective games but retaining a loose, handmade, feel. they cover a whole array of iconic urban structures and supporting infrastructures. the accompanying site offers a look at all of the individual stencils, photos of some resulting pieces, a movie (which helps clue you in the not only the general concept but also to the method) and a virtual m-city constructor where you can build your own online. all in all extremely well done. kudos, or as the young hooligans say, “props.” (via wooster collective)
