Andy Taylor Smith for the Danger Global Warming Project

Eyestorm like to keep you up to date on recent projects artists have been working on, so here is one for Andy Taylor Smith. He has just finished his contribution to the Black-Smoke organisation, for the Danger Global Warming project.

The organisation asked a few key people from different industry disciplines to come up with an idea for an image for the project. The main element holding all the contributions together was the use of crime scene tape within the image.

Other artists involved with the project are: Philippe Starck (Designer), Gus Van Sant (Director), Richard Linklater (Director), Jim Jarmusch (Director), Gillian Anderson (Actress), Kasey Affleck (Actor), William Wegman (Artist), Francois Rousseau (Photographer), Alan Cumming (Actor), Peter Stormmare (Artist), Goldie Lookin Chain (Musician) and Fatboy Slim (DJ).

Keep your eyes peeled for the official release of the project and for information on tape rolls which can be used to wrap up anyone or anything that contribute to climate change. You can view the website here for more details.
