So that’s it. We reach the end of the Grafik Advent project. It’s been fun. It’s been a challenge. there have been great comments and smiles. There have been nasty comments and bad vibes. I’m glad I did it and got others involved. Brighton now has some great art on boxes.
Watch this space for all the pics and more great artwork for the New Year.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!
Todays installment is a slightly bigger display. Painted as part of the Fresh St. Art project with help from EZ.
So only one day left. The project draws to a close and it has been awesome to see so many diverse images go up. Thanks to all on the project. I had hoped for something grand for the finale, however due to rainy weather was unable to do this.
Anyway, Happy Christmas. I hope that you get all that you wish for.
Another clear and sunny day in Dec. I should be out getting my last minute Christmas shopping done, but no. Dashed out this morning to paint no. 22 on the grafik Advent. Kept it nice and quick and a new personal best. Just over 30mins on this one and lots of nice comments by people on their way to work.
Happy Christmas.
So we are rolling to the end of the Grafik Advent with only 4 days to go until Christmas. Lots more boxes have appeared around Brighton and unfortunately I have broken my camera and my phone so it is getting difficult to log them all. Not to worry though. Here are 2 more for ya.
First up, is another great colourful box by Snub23. I’m digging the white highlights on this, making it look like it has a layer of snow on the letters.
Then a quick entry from myself today. Done as part of the Fresh St.Art project today, with assistance from Sharon.
Another day, another Father Christmas. I know it is similar to the 12th installment, but I wanted to do this one quick and it was on a bigger, more central box in the city.
For quickness it took just under an hour and had lots of cheery and bewildered Christmas shoppers giving me nice comments and wishing me a ‘Happy Christmas’.:) 🙂
Sorry for the poor picture quality, tis a dark and gloomy day.
So, it’s been a nice sunny day in Brighton today and that has meant that it has been slightly easier to paint boxes.
Today’s installment was in conjuction with Fresh St. Art, the youth project that I run.
I was assisted by Taylor, who masterfully filled in the box as I sketched it out and he learnt some techniques of cutting back and creating the pattern.
Good work all round, taking just over an hour to complete.
Gettin kinda cold, isn’t it? It most certainly is. Yesterdays Grafik Advent by me. x Only nine days to Christmas. EEK!
So here we are with more installments of the Grafik Warfare Advent Calendar Street project. Dec 13th sees a Sinna One Snowman in the mix, but no sign of snow just yet. A lot of rain, wind and very cold weather, but no snow.
We also introduce ENNUI to the project and he serves up a rainbow delight. The artist formerly known as Women 158, never fails to impress with his distinctive style and fantastic women characters. Rocking these boxes out in the freezing cold and dealing with dwindling light, he chooses some bright outline colours to cheer up the dullest of days.
The last few days has also seen a guest appearance of new young artist, Hipster. Using emulsion and pen on the box as an alternative to sprays. Hipster is just as talented with spray paint as he is with any other medium and I’m sure you shall see more work by him in future. Better pic of this to follow.
There are still plenty more boxes to be seen around Brighton. Req 1 has been doing some beautiful photorealism of his model Alice. Once I get pictures there will be a post devoted to it.
Todays installment. Was dark so better pic to follow.
