GRAFFITI BLACKBOOK SKETCH - MERRY X-MAS 2014!

What a year.. So many highlights, painting walls, sketching, designing business cards, a book, and so on. I want to thank all recent visitors, friends, and family who followed my progress this year, via Facebook, Instagram or whatever. Some people even just followed me in person, madness haha. I really want to get painting down in Dordrecht with Etos CFL, but the update on that may be visible next year, I don't know how time is going to be filled up. I wish you all the best for 2015!

'When Christmas looks like this' is the title that popped up when I made this gold one. Referring back to the critical note I got from a friend a week back, I made a 'back to basic' sketch, with a fluor yellow, a banana yellow, a brownish, and an orange marker. Just those 4 fill colors, because I want to be capable of doing this on the wall, with a max of 5 spray cans. But I have to keep those folds and bars in.. So I should start in my sketchbook, shouldn't I?

I'm also making some new HTM templates, the public transport company @ The Hague. Keep in touch here for updates!

COMING SOON! - DUTCH GRAFFITI TEMPLATE BOOK!

Excited to announce this people.. I've never been so proud of anything, and it isn't even finished yet! Remember the blackbook template I made a couple of weeks back? Some days later on I received the new orders for the next school assignment, called 'Doe ut Lekkah Zelluf' (roughly translated to 'Do whatever you Want'). To be on point; What you were going to make was totally up to you, but you had to describe the process you were running through on a specific website.

As I made the NS train, I decided to make an a4 blackbook full of recognisable Dutch things, that you can paint on. It is still in a prepress stage but I really want to show you guys! There are only 15 pieces left, so be fast if one of you want to get their hands on this. Got to keep it special you know.

To make everything fall into place, I'll quote the first page;

'Hello There!

This book is developed for all graffiti writers, who want to practise their trains in a book. In my search I only found a couple of other 'environment blackbooks', but those contained New York subways and freight trains. Time for a change! This book contains all Dutch stuff, that's worth representing. Bombing Material!

This book consists out of 25 pages, with 6 different templates:

- 8 NS 'Hondekop' Materieel '64 trains
- 8 RET ' SG 2/1' subways
- 8 BAM Construction Sheds
- 8 RET 'Den Oudsten Alliance' buses
- 8 FEDEX 'Citroen Jumper' Delivery Vans
- 8 CBS 'Advertising' Billboards

Enjoy Bombing!'

It is still in a prepress as I've already said, but I am desperate to make more templates and finish it. More soon! Thanks to printenbind.nl for delivering 20 books in 2 days, you guys are fast!

Love to all painters, especially Nibor, Tober, Evore, Buno & Fines for testing my book with different markers!

GRAFFITI @ DORPSACADEMIE, WILNIS - FT. FINES

The last piece in Delft with Fines was such an success, that we decided to drop a piece together again, instead of visiting Utrecht for the release of the new Overrated Magazine. Fines had found a spot in Wilnis, at the Dorps Academie. He was able to paint there a couple of times before, so they were familiar with the fact that some guys come by, time by time, to paint a wall in the backyard. 

We only had an hour to finish this one but damn; What a nice spot! We even had a roof above our heads. They have a range of +/- 200 colors there, where we could choose from. All sponsored. Really, really awesome! I've kept it simple because we had the time limit, but when the hour reached its end, we even got some extra time to finish the last bits. So happy, the owner Jenneke is so supportive. She really made my day.
This one is to be repeated! Thanks Fines and all people involved.. HQ pics soon.

I really don't know if I put out some more besides schoolwork until next year.. Maybe I'll paint an christmas piece or so but I am not sure yet, so the best to all of you for 2015! Love!

HOUSEHOLD TYPOGRAPHY #1 - SHOE LACING!

While on a party with some friends, enjoying the dnb from Mefjus, Kasra and some other guys Jim told the group about my graffiti work. After showing the pictures and receiving some nice compliments (such random things can really make my day!) I heard something I was thinking about for a long time already.. 'Your pieces are a bit seamless bro..' I realised I just needed that one push, because instantly after that I got so much inspiration for other works.. That is why this new 'Household Typography' series is born, I want to get familiar with the realistic shadowing and search for the typography in some of the most random objects. New objects bring new possibilities! 

To start of the series I didn't want to dig deep too quickly.. That's why we are shoe lacin' today, this is a a really bendable texture. I tried to preserve the realness, which I already brought to another level here.. So promising. This one's a step by step again, with the GIF file below, like the Kermis Exchange. Enjoy!

GRAFFITI BLACKBOOK SKETCH - THE DEPTH WITHIN

New update on the book! I've been busy for school last week, and I decided to publish a sketching book with all of my drawing templates in the future. Things that have been done are: the NS train, a RET subway, a RET bus and a shed. More stuff to come!

The graffiti front took a couple of updates too! I joined the Unknown Crew, a crew together with the friends of the last couple of posts... Positive vibes all the way!

I've called the new sketch of today 'The Depth Within' because I tried to get more familiar with the effect in the yellow parts. Sketching the outlines first helped a lot! Good things for the future. The shadow in combination with the 3d effect inside the fill also made it look a little different from the other sketches. Thanks to mom btw, for my new sketchbook!

Enjoy!
