BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAYDanish Street Artist Don John is typically known for his fluorescent ferocious, if stylized, stencilled illustrations of beasts and bearded men (or combinations thereof) on the street and in doorways. Today we see a more reverent side of the artist as he completes a portrait of the Danish author and poet Hans Christian Anderson. The creator of Fairy Tales is best known world wide for his childrens stories including “The Tinderbox”, “The Princess and the Pea”, “Thumbelina”, “The Little Mermaid” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes“.
Not only that, he lived right around the corner from this new giant likeness. “He was born in Odense and the mural is located across from the house where he grew up, in the direction he is looking,” says the artist.
