A couple of chickens can catch a ride on a giant lizard, right? In Ericailcane’s reality they can. The artist recently painted exactly that on a wall in Tuxla, Mexico and it looks exceptionally fantastic.

With several collaborations in the past, artists Blu and Ericailcane once more combined efforts to create a wonderful piece on what used to be a school in Bari, Italy. The buildings collective “Socrate Occupato” is now home to around 60 immigrated refugees. The two artists worked with the themes of migration and pilgrimage. A detailed flooded city was painted by Blu, while an arc with animals seeking refuge for their crossing was painted by Ericailcane.

Ericailcane’s stylized storybook illustrations of animals in humanlike situations remain a favorite on ours. His work at first appears childlike, but contains adult issues and context. This new piece containing ducks and oil cans was painted for the 4eme Mur Festival in Niort, France.

Last year at this time, we were traversing the streets of Grottaglie, Italy, enjoying FAME Festival and the murals that have gone up in the town over the past years. An interview with Angelo Milano of FAME and Studiocromie later, we have to enjoy this year's FAME from a distance, but we love what we are seeing from March 2010 subscriber cover artist, Ericailcane on the side of an apartment building.

Bologna-based muralist, Ericailcane, recently painted this mural for the Street Art Communication Festival in Kosice, Slovakia. With an overall theme of greed, the mural depicts a crew of bats hording gold rings and bringing them to an oversized rat.

A few months ago, Italian muralist, Ericailcane, was in Mexico City for his exhibition at FIFTY24MX Gallery, and was able to find time to paint this wall with fellow artist, Hitnes, in Tepito. A nice video was made documenting the mural, and our colleagues at Juxtapoz Latin America just passed it along to us. The wall was part of COMEX Series.

Italian street muralist, Ericailcane, recently painted what looks to us like a rugged hamster holding on tight to some gold coinage in the city of Modena. Why he has a noose around his neck is a mystery?
