"Don't Look Up!" art for SHIBUYA CROSSING, TOKYO. Wish Me Luck

Written By Robbi Firestone

Robbi Firestone's artwork, "Don't Look Up!" hopes to infuse Tokyo's world-famous Shibuya Crossing with a jolt of aesthetic charm and wit, vying for a prestigious spot on the Medici billboard.

Firestone playfully spotlights the perilous allure of distractions that both endanger and enrich our human existence. Bursting with vivacious hues, intricate patterns, and sumptuous textures, "Don't Look Up!" offers a wry commentary on the bewildering experience of navigating densely populated pedestrian and vehicle crossroads.

It emphasizes the unyielding determination of city dwellers, racing toward 'to the moon!' aspirations, while constantly, skillfully sidestepping the pitfalls of metropolitan life.

"Don't Look Up!" weaves together the urban experience, as seen in works like "Right-Click and Save As Guy" by XCOPY, and echoes the impassioned plea of "START AGAIN" by Beeple. Aesthetically, Firestone's art dances to the entrancing rhythms of "LetsFixIt" by Dawnia Darkstone.
