Hamburg 17: JEBA X KAES X BONZAI

It was a pleasure to be joined by KAES and BONZAI on a job with Paintfreaks in Germany. Not only did we have a sketch exchange, we got to paint Hamburg. Im still ecstatic.

JEBA X FEWD LDN Spring

This was one of the last pieces before departing the city. Quite happy with myself being that it was a freestyle on the character.

Summer Painting Continues

I have still got so many pieces to show you guys. Keep checking in daily.

Black book Wall: JEBA X BOXEM X VUES X JUST

A nice wall and concept executed with the Glaswegian artists.

Gonna Wetcha

There's been quite a bit of paint action in Barcelona this year, so expect quite a few posts coming up from the city.

LAST POST... SEPTEMBER?!!

EGAD man!
I didn't realise I left it so long!
But theres been a lot of travelling and working: Spain, Hamburg, Berlin Copenhagen, Gran Canaria... Journeys I say!

So lets start with this weeks Halloween sketch

Spider-Man Homecoming

So Spider-Man Homecoming is out, I haven't seen it yet, but like many have been looking forward to it. When we saw the appearance of the new Peter Parker in Avengers Civil War, I definitely think it was the best portrayal of the character in the films thus far.

Like many, I have an issue with how the MCU just decides to make up new scripts and not simply stick to the great stores laid down. For example Peter Parker should be much older in the Civil War, which speaks on particular developments of the character in itself. For the fact that they've had to rehash the story of him when he first gets his powers I think speaks volumes. If Sony and Marvel just stuck to the original script there would be a great number of films by now, not the feeling of 'Let's start again.'

Also I find it quite a disrespect to the writers of the original stories. Then as a fan, a child who grew up reading these stories I want to see these great stories come to life.

But anyway, we have a new suit, a new take on the character and I'm pretty hyped.

City Shots

JEBA X BOXEM X JEZBER

A couple months ago I met up with BOXEM and JEZBER in Barcelona to paint. A great opportunity with a great spot in a neighbouring town. Boxem came up with the Voodoo concept, and it was great to meet JEZBER who is apart of a crew who are linked to one of mine.

Pure Savage

Well this is a late pst and piece from April, but I'm catching up!!

I generally pride myself on designing my own characters and painting my own characters. That's just where my mind is at. But obviously like any artist I have influences that I draw upon daily. So in regards to the question that I get asked many a times being "Who influences you?", out of many comic artist Joe Vriens is one of them. His style and energy in his work is vivacious. I really admire the weight on his characters, and his grasp for muscular anatomy, combined with the use of shadows to draw out the bulkiness of his characters.

P.S is one of my crews and I like doing crew pieces every now and then, but I figured a great way of combing a character of this weight into the letters.
