Fat Letters

November 2, 2019

Spray paint graffiti of a fat letters with dark shadowing

Found on a nice white delivery truck, this lettering piece looks quick but still well thought out. The outlined rectangles draw my eye, but I’m not sure I like them. And that tension is probably a good thing.

spray paint graffiti of the word MESH in block letters with an umlaut over the letter E

While the title may say it all, there’s a ton of detail in this piece including the highlights, shadowing, the cracks and of course, the umlaut.

Signature

Artist’s should sign their work and craftsmen and women are no different, which is why this piece caught my eye. It wasn’t just the large signature, but the stylized lettering that drew my attention. It’s that letter style that screams “graffiti” and not just “advertising” or “branding.” It’s also intriguing to think of all that lies within and under the surface of the places we inhabit. A hidden world, with hidden meaning and a hidden history just out of sight.

Frown

Spraypaint graffiti of a frowning face

This piece may look small here, but it was actually over two feet across. I like the simplicity and it’s iconic, almost emoji immediacy. A character and an emotion, all contained in a few paint strokes.  What can you draw with three lines and two dots?

Wallpaper

An interesting combo between the pattern wallpaper and the tag on top. If you leave it on the sidewalk, chances are it’s going to get tagged!
