I am a artist, I take pride in my work and my canvas

I prefer and partake in graffiti art. I paint on peoples homes ( while they are at work), subway cars, commercial buildings and other areas in NYC.

I am truly hoping that the " affected" see my artistic mind.. my message. Before they throw the cuffs on me.. beat my A** and throw me in Rikers Island.

I am an artist. I primarily work in watercolors, acrylics, and these days pixels. I am finding that scanning drawings and painting them digitally is giving me a lot of flexibility these days.

I tape my bright white textured waterpaint paper to a board.
I lay a watercolor shade to random areas at an angle so the water gathers creating a pigment gradient. Let it dry completely.

I take rubber cement and lay a pattern with the board flat. Allowing strings of rubber cement to land within the pattern. Let that dry completely.

I then go back with different watercolor at an angle and do a varied wash across the paper with stroke in contrast to the rubber cement patterns. I finish with different color wet-flicks on the wet wash.
I let that dry completely.

I then, carefully rub off the dry rubber cement, revelaing a pattern of brite white and first wash beneath.

I then take a fine line sharpie set and trace out the patterns and lines. I shade the lines from the cement so they appear to go over and under other lines as they cross.

After a few weeks of coloring and outlining, I scribble my mark and lay fixative. The finished work has the quality of having a different expression depending on how you orientate it. It has vivid pronounced colors and a twisting depth.

I dabble a bit in water color paint. I love acryllic, but it has been far too long since I used that. I love to just do pencil drawings more than anything.

I don’t myself but admire anyone with a talent or a passion for it.

There’s something mildly sedative about a stroll around an art gallery.

Hi everyone. I paint walls. Usually bramble or a light grey. I really love painting trim. When I'm feeling extra artistic, I will stain a deck or refinish a piece of furniture. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
