ILLUSTRATION - WE BUILD & WE EVOLVE!

What is up folks! New post was delayed for almost a week, because on my internship there's so much to do, there is no room for illustrating left. This illustration idea came up last week, when this website reached the 30 000 pageviews mark. And that even before making the website SEO proof! I thought; 'This whole thing consisting a growing amount of readers, the progress that I make, the new drawing tools that I discover.. It all started with a can of spraypaint.' I started to work on this idea by sketching an upside down spraycan, and a cityscape above; a mix between subway graffiti related stuff, and the expensive things in life. 

There are a couple of thirties' mixed in, with a reason off course. I want to thank all guys that I collaborate with first, my mate Tober, Soak from Amsterdam, Fines, the USD members, and all sticker traders who decide to put my stickers into their packages when sending out.

Then there are the readers of the Seck Design blog; The people who write comments with love, the people who give constructive (and non constructive) criticism. Thank you guys for putting a smile on my face, or inspiring me to make my work more professional. 30.000, not bad for a student is it? Love!

To the next 30.000, and beyond!

WE BUILD AND WE EVOLVE - 30.000 PAGEVIEWS TRIBUTE!

MEST x SECK - GRAFFITI @ LEIDEN CENTRAAL!

Today we traveled to Leiden central station, to paint something there with Mest. As he is closely relativated to Popeye, we were able to paint on a more amazing spot than most people. The worn out chairs and the fence around really set the mood there. Fun day!

Mest did already worked through our shopping list on Thursday, so with some extra leftovers I had back home we were ready to go! The sun started shinin', and oh the silence. Perfect spot. The color choice really pops in the sun, I guess mista Summer is makin' his entrance fast!

Up next there's another spot in Leiden that needs to be painted! Stay up!

SUNDAY IS BLACKBOOK DAY #9 - BORDER PATROL

I was searching blogs this afternoon and I got inspired by some guys like Chas LoveLetters & Setik01, who use straight lined backgrounds sometimes to get real depth in the pieces. Summer 2015 is on the way, so that is whats up with the fluor/pastel colours.. A pity that my fluor green Molotow marker was getting empty half way through. I love those acrylic paint markers nonetheless! Now I'm forcing myself to put this to work on the wall haha. Soon!

I'm reaching 30.000 pageviews soon, so be prepared for a new illustration. Preview on my instagram account here!

GRAFFITI BLACKBOOK SKETCH - OPPORTUNITIES

Sometimes we forget, how many choices we've got to make, when we are sketching something. Normally I use a pencil for sketches like these, so that I am really sure that I want my line there, or want to let my letters flow like that. This evening I tried the new black Stabilo marker I bought, and what an exercise.. I had to overthink everything. It started to look like puzzling when doing these. Fun!

Personal note to self - For my fill, I always buy cheap markers. A 20 euro marker set will provide you all colours at once, and when they're starting to get empty; You just buy a new one for a couple of bucks. The people who tell you "you couldn't get the same results with cheap markers" are not right: It is all about the experience you've got with that brand/type.
