Universal Hired a Street Artist to Spray Paint This Beautiful Universal Monsters Mural on Their Backlot
Learning from their mistakes with the “Dark Universe,” Universal Studios has renewed interest in bringing back their classics monsters proper, with a new initiative that aims to bring in fresh voices who can breathe new life into their roster of icons. And speaking of giving them fresh makeovers, that’s just what Tristan Eaton has done on the Universal backlot.
Reported by THR, the studio commissioned Eaton, a street artist, to spray paint a massive Universal Monsters mural on a 50-by-200-foot wall, and goddamn is it GORGEOUS.
Work on the mural, which includes colorful tributes to Dracula, Frankenstein, the Bride of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and the Wolf Man, began back in January, and it’s now almost complete. As THR’s Aaron Couch notes, Eaton took “particular inspiration from European posters whose art sometimes differed greatly from the films.”
Head over to THR for more, and to watch a time lapse video of Eaton’s handiwork!
