A sprawling metropolis blossoms on a 30' stretch of white paper as French illustrator and street artist Thomas Dartigues, a.k.a. Decktwo, freehands the intricately detailed, semi-mythical panorama of Tokyo he calls Expanding Drawing. "Tokyo is the main theme of the piece, even though it’s drawn like a fantasy world with huge monuments that everyone recognises," Decktwo's manager, Nathalie Lapicorey, explains to The Creators Project. With a massive Tokyo Tower just across the bay from a larger-than-life Tokyo Ferris Wheel and a giant Tokyo Skytree, Dartigues takes some liberties with the city's skyline, but to great effect.
