New Projects by JR

For those of you who haven't been following the work of French photographer/street artist JR over the past few years, there's a goldmine of stories and images waiting to inspire you.  When I first heard of his work, he was a portraitist who was starting to wheatpaste some of his photographs on walls around Paris.  Since then, his work has snowballed in content, scale, and recognition; spreading all around the world in the form of commissioned installations and humanitarian projects.

His most recent project in Rio De Janeiro covers the walls of a whole hillside of poor housing with images of the eyes of some of its inhabitants.
