Art of Paris series 3

These 3 jpegs are what originally kickstarted the Art of Paris in 2009.
This was the first time I took elements of my oil paintings / landscapes and placed them alongside my digital work and graffiti influences.
I was fascinated by the results , the interplay between clean graphics and brush strokes.
This has been a deciding factor in the style of my work this year so far.

Gems from the 80's

Before graffiti I used to bmx, these guys had some of the best street wear & adverts out there.
Still a big inspiration today.

Cool by the Pool

Still a bit nippy for a swim...

Art of Paris series 2

Next in the series, another fine blend of art & graphics.
Work featured- paintings from 2004-2008, Co-lab tee graphic
for Play Nice with Mr Jago, Early Kuildoosh logos from 2004,
and WSSK press shots for our 2008 Brooklyn exhibition courtesy
of Neat studios UK.

Inspirations

During my years as a graffiti artist my influences
came from many different sources.

A big one was tv and films of the late 80's, these
still play a big part in my work today.
This beauty (and the trailer that follows) were a classic.

Usually the only graffiti you'd ever see on prime time tv.

I've recently re-visited this logo, and now with typestyles
evolving on from spraypaint have given it a new twist.

I'll publish the finished graphic soon
