Crate Man Craze

The artist or artists who created Lego-looking Crate Man are unknown, but they have been appearing around the world since 2006. Most of the time they are seen in various cities in Australia, but some Crate Men have made appearances in South Africa. He has been found climbing walls, sitting on balconies, and even under trees with signs that read "It's been whey too long! It's crate to be back. Crateman."

During the World Cup, Coca Cola installed its own 54 foot Crate Man, made of 2,500 Coke bottle crates, at Cape town at an harbor (photograph on the right).

Cate Parr is a fashion Illustrator from England who now lives in California. She uses watercolor to "capture the ethereal, fleeting and vulnerable qualities of fashion imagery" (www.thecoolhunter.net). The use of darker hues mixed with softer colors forces the viewers to pause and study the piece in more depth. Her ability to grab attention with a few brushstrokes makes her a valuable artist in the fashion industry. Some of her clients include Material Girl Cosmetics and Dickies and Dickies Girl.
