Another artist at the Willoughby Windows Project is Gaia, who produces work both for the street and for galleries. A lot of Gaia’s work is large scale illustration, with line drawings representing natural subjects like animals and earth children.

Just a quick one about some great stuff from the Willoughby Windows project. My particular favourite is the Cannonball Press Zero Sum Game; eight keys and four outcomes all lead to financial ruin.
