Back Again for the New Year!

After being absent for so LONG, I decided to go back because, well ... I have done something related to art today, without any influence of Uni work and such. It all started when I started to clean my room again. I ended up gathering a lot of paint, and making something out of my time.

In my arsenal
Just thought I'd gather my spray paint and put them in a nice section of its own. I didn't think I still have a handful, plus the 4 other ones I bought earlier on in the year.

Spraying Space

After finding my weapons, I wanted to experiment. Couldn't wait to get my hands on them and spray those buggers on a clean white surface and cause trouble. I suddenly found myself thinking and recalling a technique to do with spraying space scenes. Right on the spot, grabbed my stuff, and within minutes, I had myself a space scene! I was surprised to see the result myself. Might do a detailed entry on this one day.

PS. Gonna interest my girlfriend to do this with me, it would be a fun little project to do.

Spraying Practice: Cutting-back

With the little spark of interest still going strong, I decided to to take a risk and go head on with some freestyle graffiti - NO SKETCH.

Always been surprised at how my work turns out when I just freestyle some spray on the spot. It ends up like an experiment progression. To add to that, I still need practice. So I just apply, cut-back, apply and cut-back.

Cutting-back: this is the method of graffiti where the lines are defined cleaner, neater and have angular, sharp edges, compared to normal lines. These lines can go thinner than the tin tips and are ideal for smaller details and canvas artwork.

Anyway, here it is. My little suttin'-suttin'.

Space Rock!

I decided to continue working on one of my ongoing projects last year - a designer toy sculpture. Originally, I couldn't decide on what the colour and/or pattern of this guy would be, I even painted on random colours just for fun.

Originally, it was just a boring tan and black colour. But you know what else was pretty good about today? It was nice I was feeling a little space-y, so I decided to stick to the theme, and make it look dope. But it was just lacking something. I just wanted to give it a kick, you know? So I made his head gold, fading into a midsection of magenta space and stars, fading out into black for the legs.

Check them out and see for yourself.

I even torn some empty cans, which I stuck on his back, and made him wear some custom AF1's.

Still in progress, this project is something I cannot rush. So watch this 'space'! :)
