It doesn’t matter how you got here. What matters is the path ahead
It never ceases to amaze me how almost every time I sit and begin a doodle or any drawing for that matter my subconscious embarks on the “throw-up” ; a stylized bubble letter lock up EVERYONE has tried at some point in their lives, whether they are participants in the graffiti culture or not. Basic bubble letters are everywhere, from airbrushed treatments on sweatshirts at Great Adventures or your local bodegas signs boasting sales on bagged ice for crying out loud, they may also be found on your child’s notebook publicly displaying their love interests!
These four examples above are like rabid circus clowns fighting each other with cinder blocks, a real 4 stooge love affair. Regarding the one on the left you can see how that “T” is pushing the “B” out of its way, sort of a lean in fuakata while the “R’ sits in a state of perpetual security. In the center is a basic legible low rider, no decorations, no outside embellishments, unlike the two that ride down the right hand column, these two have a perfect dysfunction; the letters are condensed and sit almost uncomfortably with that “R” reaching over forcing a bear hug of sorts….the bottom right corner lock up needs coffee, it almost feels like its filled with dry sand.
Oh you 4, I’m sorry.
Peace
Blust.
