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.

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
