New Maskedman painting on board - Controlled Substances -


  This piece has just been finished and added to my store...Titled "Controlled Substances"  featuring The Maskedman..This is an original painted onto a reclaimed board..

 The background is 100% spraypaint.and overlaps into the character.. I called this piece "Controlled Substance" because it has tags,splats,neat lines,fades, drips, scrapes and loads of interesting controlled mess and textures..The character is wired up to the paint he uses, as if he abuses the substances..
I drew the character straight up in paint pen with no errors or marking out.. 100% freestyled!

To take a closer look if you are interested.. Head over to my store HERE.. This piece is priced at £59.99 plus postage, and measures 70cmx50cm..

HMQ CUSTOMS now available from fugi.me

   I'm a little late in posting about this, but better late than never.. Last week saw the final steps to an exhibition I was involved in, which was put together and organised by Daniel Perry.. The HEAVY METAL QEE project was a collection of 30 artists, each given a Qee platform to customise into their own interpretation of Heavy Metal...Unfortunately I couldn't attend the show, which was at Forbidden Planet London, but there are plenty of photographs and a video to check out in the HMQ gallery.. It looked like a really good night and a huge success!! See for yourself!
   All customs created for this event are being sold, and proceeds raised will be given to the Garden House Hospice.. To get your hands on one of these 30 customs, and to give to a charity at the same time, head on over to FUGI.ME..  
    Dan also made a really nice book dedicated to the HMQ show, which you can get at FUGI.ME.  Only 100 printed, so head over there quick and grab one.They are 64 pages deep, each artist has their own spread, with pictures and information about their customs...The books look amazing! and I can't wait to get mine.. Dan was nice enough to get one signed for me at the event.. (Thanks Dan! and to all who signed it!).

   HEAVY METAL MICKQEE was the custom I made..Based on Iron Maiden's Eddie and Disney's Mickey Mouse, both of which I liked as a kid..He is up for grabs for £120.00 from the fugi.me store . with the rest of the HMQ gang..

 

Massive props, thanks and well done to Dan for putting this together and making it a success! And a big high five to all the other artists involved too!!

Rusty Rooz defaced munny custom

   This Rusty Rooz was painted with spraypaint and acrylics after adding textures.I did this by melting a nozzle over him, scuffing him up and cutting him until he had the worn look I wanted.
   He comes with the canvas, which like my other similar customs before him " the abandonned munny" and "the derelict rooz" illustrate a point about graffiti.. In the right environment and setting, a rusty vandalised surface seems more acceptable to some than this being on a building or public space..
   This little guy is covered in my tags, some KR tags and the odd kidrobot scrawl..The canvas was given the same treatment and the Rooz, with added texture and tags, he almost looks camouflaged when stood in front of it...

This custom has been added to my store on a 7 day auction, starting at just 99p.. I find it interesting to see how many people like this sort of graffiti. Although not as appealing as the more artistic side of our artform, it is still important, and is the foundation for all graffiti artists.. This side of graffiti isn't for everyone! If this is for you, and you'd like to join in on the auction and maybe grab yourself an original bargain, click HERE..
Auctions ends on the 29th April at 22:01..

ADDICTED TO GRAFFITI CUSTOM TRUCK

I painted this a few weeks ago.. It was a toy truck, after adding some damage and texture I gave it a base coat and then added some letters.. One side reads HOAKSER obviously, the other reads "addicted to GRAFFITI".. The lettering is a blingy chrome, with white highlights and 2nd outline.. toned down with rust and dirt..
