very nice graph art

[dilation]

word... nice book, i like your letters... got any pics?

[Giacomo]

Great stuff!

I like the ones that seem to have been done on a smaller scale..."Notes.jpg" is my favorite, I love the "flow and twist" feel of it.

Overall, I like the ones that use fewer colors...the colorful ones seem sort of overdone, and the marker just gets in the way of your drawing skill. So I'd say do more stuff in ballpoint and black marker.

Regards,

G

totecx1! nice to see you posting here! we need more graf on these boards. nice to see the rawness. went and saw a mode 2 show last night, and its got me itchin to paint! crit wise, i think you're letters are strong, i'm sur you know that. they smack with the taste of midwest/southern style , am i correct? as far as your characters are concerned, its a balancing act with graffiti. sometimes cats get caught up in more abstract styles (dalek, or my boy doze1, for instance) which is dope, but it also seems like you liek to jump around a bit, so i'd suggest some drawing from life or something, to make your more rendered images stronger. i am a realism junkie myself and working from life has helped me immenseley in that. oh and one more thing...STOP USING LINED PAPER DUDE!!!! that paper isnt fit to wipe your ass on man. get yourself a good acid free blackbook (or several) and work outta those. the results are always better. look forward to seeing more.-c36

[malicious]

holy crap that's a lot to take in! cool stuff, like coro said, it's good to see more graf. i have no talent for it, but i've always respected it as an artform. love the style of your sketches. good stuff!

-you are right about my color most of my markers are dead so I end with odd combinations. I do like my drawings in black and white better but i often get bored and end up coloring some of them:confused:

el coro
-I dont know what my style is considered I often change it so I guess its a little of everything. Characters are pretty new to me I used to focus on nothing but letters so I have no strong defined characters yet. -I draw on lined paper because those drawings i do during class when i get bored :D

[JoBeSu]

Aah nice! long time since i looked at som graf art..i like your style on the letters..very inspiring..have to do some graf sketching myself now!:electric:

[jetpack42]

nice stuff...you've got a sweet style. The color stuff does get to be overly nutty. Monochromatic would be good, or 2 maybe 3 colors max. I really dig your style though...

[cotron]

nice to see the versatility in styles you got here... I think once you find a style that sticks you're really gonna shine. right now it kinda looks like a few different people have been hitting your book w/ your name. not in a bad way, but it seems like you haven't found what you want yet. your characters are great, the bats are my faves. you have more can control than me.

coro: dalek taught painting classes at my school... for a brief period of time, til he got busted.

totecx1.. when I looked at your work.. and your named glimmered.. I was thinking TOXIC... good correlation in nickname...

good stuff.. nice lines... I think everyone has mentioned you tend to jump around in styles.. but thats cool.. I think your deffinite weakness right now is colors.. but that comes witht time...

I really like the portrait, looks like elvis.. I could be wrong though....

I haven't done that much writing.. but I started some stuff the other nite, because I was working on a flyer.. and wanted to mix my graphic design with a little lines..

Keep on post'n man.. I love to see other stuff on these boards..

peace

[flavorite]
