In Germany, from Werneuchen to Strausberg on abandoned buildings and city walls, Bill Knospi reimagines familiar cartoon characters with a graffiti twist. His murals transform grey concrete into vibrant portraits: a duck with oversized neon sunglasses, a Smurf with a banana, and even Deadpool in a playful comic spin. This collection brings together ten of his most colorful works.
