LA & Graffiti Working Ideas

Posted on January 27th, 2010

Here I am in LA visiting and getting new ideas for my graffiti series of paintings. I love this city and the ideas for works I see everywhere. The city having many “tagged” buildings by gangs makes it very easy getting my creative juices flowing on the subject. This building downtown is a great example for a composition. The colors and shapes on the surface of this building I shot downtown seems perfect to me for my mixed media painting approach. There is no visual written graffiti on the building but plenty of visual stimulation in the colors and textures for me to add a tag myself in the finished work. I will be adding more images here that spark my imagination as a starting point for a great series of paintings.
