graffiti artist titifreak






I like these illustrations simple and effective lines which has given effect to the image.
Recently been working on the graffiti style that I like to work with and the images that I have been developing. So when it comes to handing in portfolio ive got a strong consist work. Also I have been working on a piece of graffiti that sums up what i've been working on for a long time. What im hoping to do is from my pieces of graffiti it will turn into an animation so that its collaborating both of my passions and inspirations. Also trying to find the style that signifies that its me and my own stamp is on it and so when I go to clients or future jobs they wil know that my style is significant and stricking.

miss vans work has changed the artisic movement which is extremely rare for an artist to actually change the direction of that movement. Miss van is a french
artist. Whilst many artist would hide the femininity in their work in an effort to become accepted by their male counterparts miss van did the opposite, she stayed true to herself, embraced her female sensibilities to the fullest and used them to define a stlye that today. When seeing these pieces of work that she has produce you can immediately tell its done by her. Exquisite taste and her impeccable sense of style lets you know its done by a womans hand. Her work when you see it in the streets stops you in there tracks and its a memorable image.

new script changed

Opening with the scenery of trees and flowers ( w/s camera moves around to flower where the butterfly is fluttering)around it and is getting some nectar out of the flower. Bruce is in the distance just minding his own business sniffing the grass.
He turns around and sees the butterfly fluttering so, he walks up to the butterfly.

Starts to smell the butterfly fly but, finds the bug keeps on moving. So the butterfly starts to move on ( w/s camera moves around the scene) and flies around bruce is looking up at the butterfly to see what is happening

So, Bruce is prancing around the butterfly bruce starts to get bored and walks away ( c/s camera see the back of bruce). As he is looking down to see what is happening ( camera is a w/s but at a higher state). The butterfly swoops down and lands on Bruces bum then bruce looks around and completely turns around to see the butterfly is on his bum. The butterfly is franctickly moving on his bum ( camera c/s)

As the butterfly is fluttering around Bruce starts to get irritated starts to bark. The butterfly seems to be in shock flutters madly. So instantly flies away and goes back onto the flower, where he feels safe sits there fluttering. The butterfly got a bit to much attention. Bruce seems only a little bit phased by it. So then Bruce just minds his own business plays around in the garden jumping,sniffing the grass. Whilst that is going on the butterfly is sitting on the flower. After awhile the butterfly comes back again to try and get even more attention from Bruce.

Bruce is having none of it this time he rans away ( w/s camera) decides to roll around on the grass. The butterfly starts to fly around him as he is looking up
( possible rain effect here).The butterfly is going around and around ( camera c/s )

Bruce barks once again butterfly got in so much shock that he flu straight into some poo.

The other character that I have created is going to be an irritating bug that always seems to get in the way of the dog. Stops him from doing anything but in the end the bug and the dog get one. the relationship between these two characters are completely the opposite to each other which is why the bug is very irrating but the dog is very chilled out but the way to bug gets a repsonse is if hes on the nose of the dog. the bug seems to stay on the nose alot of the time. But the dog never knew where the bug appeared from.
