Sketch update 09-29-10

Finally got the chance to do some figure drawing.
Hopefully I'll get around to doing some painting in the coming weeks.
I made a design for some shirts, bandannas, and stickers. The label would be called "Ride Local", meant to express respect for local skaters, boards, skiers, surfers, etc. I really like the idea so I think I'm gonna role with it.

BOMB IT

I sat down and watched a pretty awesome documentary on graffiti artist around the world called "Bomb It". I liked it a lot but it made me realize something... no matter how much I look up to street artist, I will never be one. I have some personal views on the problems in society but I don't have the balls to be in danger of getting arrested for tagging or putting up art on public walls. I'm one of those people who wants to take the graffiti style and put it on canvas. I'm something that graffiti artist despise. Fantasies to paint the sides of buildings are merely that, fantasies. Something I want to work on is to find a way to show my respect for street artist and stay away from becoming that which they hate. I'll stick with my canvas and paper, showing the world that graffiti is a revolution in the art world, in the world in general.

So to all you bombers out there, keep at it, and don't forget to realize the effect your work has on artists who don't have the balls to pay the price of jail time for art. I'll live vicariously through your can and your wheat paste.
