This gorgeous boy is the son of French graffiti artist Akse. He plans to portray his son as he grows up – a mural a year, in different cities of the world.
Akse has been spray painting murals since 1992 and has been based in Manchester since 1997 – lucky Manchester! He specialises in freehand photo-realistic portraits – they are such accurate portrayals that it is impossible to comprehend that they are created in situ using spray paint. On the other side of this block is his Mandela portrait.
