X-Files Graffiti Blackbook

One of my favorites in the DREAM series. My 9th attempt at graffiti style art. I like the colors and I like the way the caricatures of Mulder and Scully turned out. I would like to do more of these in the future. Finished 4.20.2011

More Graffiti Art

My second attempt at graffiti art. Originally started this for a middle school art project... I am now obsessed with creating "Word Art". I am sticking with the word DREAM because that is what I want my middle school students to do. I have realized it to be my own path of creative discovery. I did this one with only pencil... big mistake! I like using brush pens and markers much more. Ended up being kind of a disco theme, although that was not my intention.

This next one was my 3rd attempt for this series. I wanted to get the Hollywood sign look mixed with graffiti. I don't care too much for it, except for the palm tree. Live and learn... each drawing is a step in a new direction. Also, this was my first attempt using markers.

My fourth attempt at graffiti art. Inspired by Tim Burton (I guess you could call this fan art). I was pretty happy with the finished product at the time, but feel I have surpassed that now, which is exciting for me because it has been less than a month.

This is my fifth attempt and the first one I felt really happy with. I like everything about this one. The colors work, my lettering is getting better, and I'm getting more comfortable using markers.

I have done several more since this one (some good, some not). Will be posting those just as soon as I get the scanner hooked up and working on the new computer.

Graffiti Art

This is my first post in a really long time! I never seem to have the time for the things I want to do. Anywho... I started working on a graffiti lesson for my 8th grade students. Obviously, we will not be doing real graffiti with spray paint on walls, but I love the look of this type of artwork. The idea is for students to develop their own style with the purpose of getting people to notice their work over the artwork of others. I started by creating an example using the word DREAM. I enjoyed doing this one so much I am going to continue working them.
