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.
