On the side of a dilapidated tenement in Murcia, Spanish street artist Sam3 painted this silhouette colossus (or perhaps more accurately, Hyperion) swinging a little girl from his gigantic index finger.

Big means for small purposes, look of silver for the god of the observation and his shade. Inside the Project 12 Shades for the festival of urban art Alter-arte. In Castillejo of Murcia, this building lived in its entirety by gypsies they will knock down it in a few months.

It's a testament to the general incoherence of the artist community that Sam3's pidgin description of his piece seems like it might not be the result of a bad Babelfish Translation. But you get the idea.

I love it. God, give us more huge art, please.
