Brick Lane




 After Stolen Space we went walking around in Brick Lane and I mean the place it self is an exhibition and especially for me who haven't been there before. Every corner is covered with street art, not all good of course but still.

But here and there you find something really good like this piece. What I like about it is the usage of colors but simplicity as well. Fine lines but but very effective.
I especially like the face and the teeth it's a powerful end of the whole piece. I only wish I could use a can like that.

 This is something really amazing, it's a huge portrait made out of hundreds of small dots in different colors. At a distance it's barely  noticeable and when you get closer you see that all the dots are controlled "uncontrolled" drops of color. This is definitively something that I have to explore perhaps on my so far all white board.  
 
 I like the arrangement of these two because it reminds me of my style I like to draw curvy women with a comic style. I mean it is a little bit 'more' to draw heh. And now when linocut is coming up after christmas I want to do some poster like prints with simple but graphic illustrations. I often use the pattern in the background on the picture to the right so when I saw this and the style I thought that I would steel the concept of this sometime in the future.

 
Two other pieces I liked in Brick Lane and I could be posting pictures all night if I wanted to but that's not going to happen. Brick Lane is best experiencing in real life at the spot when the weather is good and when you have the time to just walk around. It is a lot of creative (in street art way) art and it has a lot of good ideas.
