From Homer Simpson to Obelix: Oakoak’s Genius Street Art! (10 Photos)


A side-by-side collage of two street art pieces by Oakoak. On the left, a rusted metal fence is transformed into a dancing figure with painted smiling faces, blending decay with charm. On the right, a playful depiction of Obelix from the Asterix comics integrates with a crosswalk, with the white stripes representing the menhir he carries. Both pieces showcase Oakoak's ability to creatively adapt urban elements into whimsical art.

Since 2006, OAKOAK has had streets, walls, sidewalks and roads as its playground.


Originally from Saint Etienne, he sticks his drawings in each of the places he crosses in order to create a smile in the pedestrian at the bend of a street where he does not expect it.

His approach consists of diverting urban elements, playing with flaws that at first glance seem of no particular interest, such as cracks in a wall. He thus adds his own vision, his own references which often relate to the geek universe. A way of imagining the urban space in a more poetic way.

From playful interactions with crosswalks to whimsical depictions of beloved cartoon characters like Homer Simpson and Obelix, Oakoak’s work brings a fresh perspective to the streets.

OAKOAK: For me street art has to use urban elements. It’s the most important thing for street art. Using and playing with things you find in the street.
