We got a good look at Microsoft’s ambitious Mural Project some days earlier with POW! WOW! founder Jasper Wong’s guide to creating a mural using the company’s Surface Pro 4 tablet. Wong also acted as the project’s creative coordinator, presiding over efforts in 12 countries by 17 renowned muralists that includes the likes of Pablito Zago, Andreas Preis, Frankie Cihi and Persue.
