It had been quite a while since I last picked up a pencil to draw, and today, while I was waiting at the office for confirmation of a new job, I made this drawing.
Greetings to all my friends who are part of the blockchain community in general, but especially to all the artists who share their work with us and to those outstanding artists who, over time, have demonstrated constant growth and development in the world of blockchain. Allow me to share this drawing and a few words with you.
As you well know, my passion for art is heavily focused on graffiti and street art in general—everything that encompasses hip-hop culture and the movement, whether it’s artistic or moralistic graffiti, gang graffiti, and the emotions behind every signature made with a marker or spray paint, just as every trick landed on a skateboard—you have to practice skateboarding—is closely tied to these kinds of emotions.
The drawing presented today is a graffiti piece featuring my name or my graffiti artist nickname, which is used on various platforms, one of which is here on HIVE, FONE—four letters that have made the rounds throughout the whole town and have become known in other states here in the country. Little by little, it has been gaining not only popularity but also that respect and recognition that means so much to many of us. I know there is graffiti of a very high caliber, yet it is quite satisfying to know and see that my work also receives its share of recognition in this world in general.
Here, using two crayon colors, I began to shape these letters with these soft tones, then applied an outline with a red pen to solidify the contours and surroundings. Yes, the graffiti I’ve been presenting lately has been quite basic and used very few colors—all of this is due to the financial constraints I’m facing. However, as I emphasize in each of my posts when I share my own graffiti , sometimes there’s something that pushes us a little further than simply creating a piece that stands out; sometimes we just need to satisfy that creative or constructive need to start a sketch and finish a piece. And even if this piece is missing some elements—like colors, etc.—never compromise on style, personality, or energy.
And here, at the end of this post, I’m sharing my latest graffiti piece, which, as I mentioned before, is very sparse in color but rich in emotions and feelings.
