Sheffield, England-based Street Artist, fine artist, and illustrator Phlegm took part in the zero edition of Boombarstick in Croatia last month, and today we have some images of his new work there. Now abandoned, the building previously held a cinema and was originally a church. Many Street Artists pine for this sort of architectural opportunity, a pre-built stage with just enough existing detail to play foil for their work.

As is usual for the meticulous Phlegm, the facade was well played as an exterior staircase leading up to the bellfry – presumably where a bat or two may come flying out. A good example of working within the context of the locality, the five day transformation was an intensive public display of the dedication to the imagination of one artist, and an opening to the inner world of many who would care to travel there with him.
