Sticker Lettering

A sticker with light blue script graffiti lettering on a black background

Found this little sticker outside the market and the lettering caught my eye. Definitely a practiced hand at work here — which makes sense if you’re going to go through all the expense of printing stickers. Practice, practice, practice before you print. I do wish the color wasn’t so faded. I bet the original blue was much more vibrant.

Exclaim

Spray paint graffiti lettering with stylized mouths in the counters

Again, I’m reminded of a cartoon reference that I can’t put my finger on. The stylized mouths, both happy and comically angry, inside the counters are a great feature. A fairly simple and quick piece, but elevated by the third color used for the highlights.

Four Pack

Four pack of spray paint graffiti lettering pieces on the side of a truck

A nice idea to paint each background in this four pack like a sticker providing for a gallery effect with each tag contained, but on a much larger scale. Found on the side of a delivery truck.

Popeye

Spray paint graffiti of lettering with the cartoon character Popeye

Always been a fan of Popeye, more for his message rather than the inane cartoon. The smoke coming out of his pipe is a great subtle touch. This piece on the side of a truck. Are delivery trucks the new subway cars for graffiti artists?
