As I mentioned before, graffiti became a huge interest of mine around the time I was eighteen. This was mainly due to a trip I took to MontrĆ©al, a city that, at least the area I was in, was covered in graffiti and murals. This may be due to the Montreal mural festival, but Iām not totally sure! I wouldnāt say it was an obsession, but all of my drawings turned into graffiti sketches, and now I realise that what I was doing was blackbook graffiti marker sketches. Anyways, after receiving the prompt from my sister, I made this little doodle in my High School notebook, which can be seen in the second image of this post. I liked it enough so I used it as the foundation for this piece. I was lucky enough to have paint markers by that time as well. I say lucky because a friend of mine, a very talented artist who actually studied art, told me that it was the addition of the white lines that really made the piece pop. That was done at the very end I remember. Iām also happy with the colour scheme and content within the letters, I donāt know what inspired that, but most likely graffiti I had seen.
