Mr. Wany

Mr. Wany is one of many graffiti artists and designers that I admire a lot. His clean style using spray paint is very disciplined into making sharp lines and producing very clean work. Spray paint can control takes years and years to master. Using spray paint this particular piece uses several techniques to get different affects. Mr. Wany's work can be found in his blog and other blogs that I follow for inspiration with street styles, for example Ironlak is a big blog that I follow almost daily. I appreciate the art of graffiti very much as well as other forms of art that have enough pop and detail that can easily catch my attention.

Hip Hop culture brought to us talented artists that go against there city, there families, and authority to make us look at public expression. Painting in the darkest of nights and still being able to understand their colors is incredible. If graffiti hadn't happened we wouldn't be able to see work like this or influential work from varying artists and designers. Thank you.

  1. I think Graffiti artists are some of the most misunderstood artists out there and it is a real shame that the art form isn't respected as much as others. I always enjoy seeing the work of the artist like this that will create a picture that contrasts with the surroundings.

  2. I personally love graffiti art. Some of my favorite art I have ever seen have been huge works of graffiti covering entire walls. I like this artists use of colors they really make this work pop off the wall.

  3. This graffiti can be seen as graphic design. The crisp lines look like they could be created in Illustrator. The design even incorporates typography. There are deigns and patterns and illustration all incorporated into these images. I appreciate the abstract three-dimensional shapes and value contrast.
