Sofles in Paris | Part Deux

Sofles has his own youtube channel. If like me you shat yourself with excitement, then get ready for this video. It features a bunch of pen sketches, wall pieces and music that ties in with the video so well that you might have to rush to the toilet after your previous trip. The styles ranged in this video, but what do you expect, I'm pretty sure Sofles does everything under the sun when it comes to graffiti. With a Rustie and JME featuring on the video, track in the video is Rustie - Attak, you have a all round package thats worth watching the whole way through. Check it out below.

Claudio Picasso

When looking through instagram you are more than likely to find a new graffiti artist that you have never hear of before. It was literally today that I found out about Claudio Picasso's work or @CPWON on instagram, and to say its impressive is a bit of an understatement, the detail going on in this work is unreal. It looks more like he's pasting images to walls rather than painting them on. This hyper realistic kind of painting always does amaze me. I've seen my own sister draw up some pretty realistic pictures, which by the way you should check her out on her instagram @kayleyjaynetattoos, and the amount of skill it takes just on paper is unreal, but then to blow it up and have it on the side of a building... just makes my head hurt. But in addition to this realistic work, he has completed other styles that work just as well, and to show you all the extent of his work, here's some pictures.

This blogging stuff is hard

So after what seems to have been almost a year of this blog doing nothing I've decided to reboot it, well at least try. So in this new year the blog will not only be showcasing work of graffiti artists that I want to share, but will also showcase some of the work I have completed over this past year on my course. I posted a little while ago showing some of the work I'd completed in my first year, and it's definitely gotten better. So in a way this blog might start having some design related articles posted. In addition to this i'm going to start posting some music that might take the interest of whoever is reading this article. Being heavily into instrumental hip-hop, beat music and other genres around this area, I'm hoping to find a new track, and maybe a new artist each week to post that will help spread the music that I love to other people. With all that new year, new blog bullshit out of the way here is some of the stuff I have completed over this past year that might interest you, all my own work, if you like it comment or email me, if you want to steal it, screw you, but yeah here it is, my work. 


In my spare time I like to imagine I own a t-shirt company, and produce vectors like the one above, however this isn't a reality... yet. So until further notice this is just a vector, but I am hoping to put this low-poly deer onto a t-shirt 



I do try and do favours for people, and this is one of them. One friend asked if I might be able to make a surfboard design for him for a surfing company he wanted to start up, however this hasn't gone any further from here, but something might happen!



At my university we have small projects called real jobs, these are projects that are actually used in the real world, rather than being something that is stuffed into a folder that is later labelled 'portfolio'. This project is for a small event going on in a town near me, more work from this project will appear soon so keep your eyes peeled!


Not much now but just a few bits to show you what I do, more will be on the way... when I can get it all in one place.
