C&WR Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) While on the subject of graffiti there used to be a classic visible from the eastbound M40 near the junction with the M25. On a tall fence round a plantation, in letters as tall as the fence itself, was the legend:WHY DO I DO THIS EVERY DAY? There is also this classic from outside Paddington many years ago: Some interesting commentary on this here and here... There's a mention of Tiresias's Notes from Overground. I strongly recommend the book - as noted "man is born free and is everywhere in trains."... Edited June 23, 2014 by C&WR 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Waaaaay back I went to a Floyd concert in Auckland NZ. Best bit was the flying pig - caught everyone by surprise. The only regret from those times was missing out on Led Zeppelin. Sigh. The days of my misspent youth. I don't think you will have much trouble completely filling the wall with "art". Do you have a suitable political statement you could add in or would that date it too much? No...but no you mention it........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted June 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have internet connection what really works! I have not said how much I like your graffiti. It does look good. Political slogan for those who have not made up their minds about voting, (with thanks to Bill Bailey) What do we want-- DON'T KNOW! When do we want it-- NOT SURE!

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted June 23, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Does anyone remember "GOURANGA"? Often seen on bridges. Here's a link to some google images. Cheers, Mick Edited June 23, 2014 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Does anyone remember "GOURANGA"? Often seen on bridges. Here's a link to some google images. Cheers, Mick google says Hare Krishna monks were responsible and it means be happy. But not graffiti per say, it looks like permanent structures on bridges. been too busy to do any work......hopefully later today I can get some of these graffiti sorted. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 OK I have 3 I like so far.....not in order......as I only want to put up good stuff.....Anthony's (Marcus37's son) is still tumbling in my mind. The first one needs tweaking at the end.....but as I am learning how to use the colours and inks on this surface nothing is finished until stated and a greed with the 'client' 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 med_gallery_17883_2760_326523.jpg rmweb2147wall1 there is not much element of surprise as I penciled in the whole basic idea rmweb2148wL2 RMWEB2149WALL3 RMWEB2150Wll4 So C&WR As he has his love of the game on his thread....and he has agreed that his is good with a PINK graffiti moniker.....you'll see it's green...LOL But this is because look carefully at the jersey and it has green stripes with white centres......and the M W has the angles to reflect this 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 developing the pink rmweb2155wall9 rmweb2156wall10 rmweb2157wall11 I thought about making the star a golden yellow....but am not sure if it will spoil the overall picture.....is there any connection to a golden yellow car.....leprechauns pot of gold? sort of thing??

Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Once I have most of them in....I will tinker with them. I am still experimenting ...attempting to get a more realistic .....looks like aerosol can finish. I don't think airbrush will work too well on the PIR, but I might try plastic later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Ok so I played a round with @Jc, several ideas came to mind, I decided on a night sky....but even then if evolved the @ was hard, but when I google it, everything was round...and it occurred to me...I could make a J and a C from a circle rmweb2162wall16 rmweb2164wall18 and instead of more citadel matt colours, I used the citadel weathering colours which are opaque rmweb2165wall19 I was impressed with the top of the scenery it looks quite realistic with the grass and a bit of bush this is acctually Tamiya smoke...more oily rmweb2166wall20 and I am looking for that deep in space look 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The original arrows at the end.....evolved into stars......and the circles are my moons checking reference to graffiti and the night sky pockets of space seem to be bluish greenish pinkish yellowing and white usually for bright suns rmweb2167wall21 I did some blue streaks first enlarged it a little as I needed more space background.sorry its blurry i forgot to check that it was focused on my ipad but you can see the J and C and the space for the @ above rmweb2168wall22 rmweb2170wall23 plaint with the opaque colours and the matt white rmweb2171wall24 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 And trying to bring some closer rmweb2172wall25 captured on better light conditions than today these will be brighter as shown by a little sun breaking through the cloud rmweb2173wall26 now I have a choice....and as it is for 2Jc....so I will pose the question to him rmweb2174wall27 It is interesting to see the concrete through the letters But I think a graffiti artist would want more I can go for strong colours, possible dark royal blue through to white in strong stylised terms or...I can take a risk (which I can paint over if al fails) and have a go at making them look moon like The telegraph.co.uk by Adrian Berry although I would use a blue moon colouring. http://d1jqu7g1y74ds1.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/blue-joey-580x368.jpg universitytoday.com style.... I can't guarantee the result on a non smooth PIR....but I think it worth a try. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
@Jc Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Looking really good Jaz. A very clever idea to base the letters on circles. I will choose the moon idea as I think it will look fantastic and I know you like a challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Happy belated birthday, I was in Great Yarmouth in a caravan for a long weekend getting sunburnt with limited Internet. Liking the latest work, but still not convinced with the art deco signal box position. The wall of art is an interesting idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think we are having trouble justifying the signal box.....once the wall is finished we will have to make a decision Glad you like the wall, and as mentioned I think your name would look good as graffiti...thanks for letting me put you up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
