Color communicates because color is powerful- & powerful color is more powerful still. --Scape Martinez In this hot-off-the-streets book- Scape Martinez shows you how to use color to bring beauty- meaning and life to graffiti art. To shout- shock and sing. To push the boundaries of art and communicate in a way that letter structure alone cannot. By example- youll learn how to connect your own color choices in a meaningful way- making your art both deeply personal and highly effective. * Check out Scapes improvisational creative process as he creates 12 works (his personal cave paintings) on concrete and canvas- step by step- from concept to completion. * Instruction and exercises help you choose the colors that work for you and your artwork- find your distinct voice- and keep it real. * Dig into Scapes bag of tricks for creating a site-specific piece- mixing conventional can techniques with traditional acrylic painting skills- exploring transparent letters and letter abstraction- working with monochromatic color schemes- turning letters inside out- and lots more. Its time to let go of old graffiti truths- like the idea of mandatory black outline and static fill-ins.The new aesthetic urges you to take creative risks. Combine expressive letter styles with wild and intense color schemes that transform- roll and change throughout your piece. Improvise on the spot. Drive it to the next level!...
