POW! WOW! Founder Jasper Wong Takes us Through the Process of Creating a Mural

From paper to tablet to brick and stone.

As part of its Designed on Surface series, Microsoft approached POW! WOW! founder Jasper Wong to paint the inaugural mural in Long Beach in what will be a series of 17 murals around the world by different artists. Wong walks us through his creative process of transferring an idea from his mind to a real-life work on brick and stone, with the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet’s ability to run desktop Adobe Photoshop playing an important part in creating the final graphic, that is then projected onto the wall. Check out the video above, and make sure to read Wong’s take on running your own event here.
