Hello, my name is Evgeny Ches, and I’m a graffiti artist from Moscow, Russia. I started painting graffiti at the end of the ’90s. Currently, I continue to paint graffiti drawings on the streets and various art mediums. I also organize various events and exhibitions.
I painted my first graffiti-style animal drawing on a transparent plastic wrap around eight years ago in the forest. It was an experiment to take urban street art and move it to a natural landscape. I call my technique Cellograffiti. It is a simple way to paint in places where you don’t have a wall and do it in 2 minutes!
I painted my first animal, a squirrel, in 2014. In our world, plastic waste is a big problem, and a lot of animals suffer from plastic pollution caused by people, but in my artwork, animals and plastic exist together. I paint most of my artwork during the events or in the parks and later remove all the film for plastic recycling.
Thanks for watching! You can check out the artwork I have previously shared on Bored Panda.

Downvote me, but I think that we produce enough plastic waste already. This seems unnecessary, although it does look nice
Nah, I agree 100% this is unnecessary
I agree wholeheartedly. He does say that he takes it down to be recycled but, and this is a huuuuge but, soft plastics are usually not recycled. The three Rs of recycling are Reduce - Reuse - Recycle. Maybe he could try mounting this on something else, but the best would be to choose a different medium. He obviously has talent.
I agree with you and many others here, great artwork but lousy medium to put it on.
I agree as well. The plastic is a whole other environmental issue that causes damage to the ecosystem. Really unfortunate that he chooses that as canvas.
Came here to say exactly that - more plastic in the woods, *sarcastic* great! Even if the artist takes it down - plastic wrap is not being recycled...
I do wonder who recycles plastic wrap with paint on it.
I agree, great art, but not on plastic like this
^^
The work itself it beautiful, the plastic really detracts from the work. It was the first thing I noticed. Pick a different medium, one that will give your work the showcase it deserves.
I love the art, but I hope he takes them down after the event or taking pictures so any animals won’t get sick if they chew on it.
Yes, they said in the very beginning that the plastic is taken down after events
Oh, thanks for clarifying!😊
