ASKEW sketch for ROIDS

Hey everyone - I've been MIA for a while on this project but going to make a real effort to get things rolling again. I don't have time to do the full pages but will still do my best to pull some challenging and interesting sketches together!

ASKEW by ENSOE

Heres a simpler one for askew..Again, feel free to put more add ons or 3d/ background of you choice.

On the spot Exchanges- Swapping names, no sketches, just figuring it out as we went…

RIME Paints A Piece Based On An Askew Sketch

Askew's sketch for Rime

Working the sketch





Here is my version of the Askew sketch. I painted this wall with Dabs, Myla, Vans (Omega), & Witness. Since the space on the wall was so wide, and Vans was getting pretty technical with his piece (see full wall shots here), I decided to rework the sketch, making it more built up. After the first mark up on the wall, I decided to put the sketch away and go with what felt natural. I added in some new connections and reworked the proportions a bit. Overall I am happy with the finished result.

While we were painting, Ewok called and told us MJ just kicked the bucket. He urged us to be the first to Paint a tribute to the the self proclaimed "King of Pop". Augor came through and started on the character. I stepped in, giving Jacko a face lift and added in some small details. Vans even joined in by putting some jewels on the glove. I originally wanted to write "Touching Young Fans From The Grave And Beyond" and have MJ's grave site with a large tombstone. I would of had his arm coming out of the ground, grabbing onto a young boy's thigh... Maybe next time?

JURNE sketches by ASKEW

What's up people!! Many apologies for my recent laziness on this project.. It's been some interesting times for me but mainly for the positive. First I got caught up with work and getting my money straight, and then after deadline I just had to have some "ME" time in regards to my style while some ideas were still fresh. I have to say it's all thanks to THE EXCHANGE that certain kogs in the machine started churning again and I'm feeling very positive about that. Seeing some of my outlines painted by others really highlighted a lot of strengths and a LOT of weaknesses in my letters that I wanted to address. It's been good because it's helped me get on track with what aspects are unique in my work and allowed me to start honing them. A bit random but I recently went Vegan too LOL.. I think that's put me on some crazy positive tip..

Anyway, Here's some Jurne sketches.. I hope you like them man. I must say it could have been one of the only times I've EVER drawn J's LOL!!!! Of course my faves are the red outlined one up top (The only one I sketched freestyle with no pencil) and the white fill, blue 3D one near the bottom.Those are definitely more in the vein of things I'm doing right now with my own pieces.

Yo Serval, I've done nearly two full pages of sketches for you and ended up scrapping both hahahahaha! Your name is hard. There is a positive outcome from that though, I made some developments towards some truly KIWI things I've needed to bring to my style while working on your name.. I know it's sad but I had to rock those things in my own pieces before I gave them to someone else to paint... So anyway, I promise, soon!!!! I owe it to you for understanding French and guiding me out of trouble in Paris LOL

Hesoe paints Askew sketch

Yo askew! .. finally i got to your sketch! i hope you like how it came out, had a bit of a hardtime sketching it but i like how it came out, pulled out all the christmass colors to bring some faia to this tunnel spot in Bergen, Norway!
Thanks to my bro Rdg1 for the flicks!

POSE / ASKEW Part 1: "RAIN FAME"

As Pose said, we tried to paint in the woods, in the rain (it sucked). I originally tried to paint a piece based off of two Aroe sketches...



But because of a drain pipe running water down the center of my piece, I had to abort.


Pose kept going through the rain...





The drenched sketch...


In the process of getting a better shot, but for now...

POSE PAINTING ASKEW SKETCH

So this was actually my 2nd attempt at this sketch.  The first one I painted with Rime in Jersey, and although it was on a hobbit trail cursed with torrential downpours, poison ivy and lost cameras, It was a blast to paint.  I tried your fat cap Ironlak method with mainly white and black, in attempt to keep it quick, simple and funky. 

 Since the sketch was so much fun to paint, I had no pics of the Jersey one, and it was pretty much rained out anyways (Rain Fame) I figured Id give it another shot in the Chi.  I really enjoyed the flow of your letters, and working with fats, trying for no cut backs, ect. Shit was a blast, thanks man, If I do another one Il probably try to scale down size-wise, and experiment more with a funkier flat treatment.  I think my massive hubris, and overcompensation for space made me stretch this one out to much, and I probably nailed the actual sketch better the first time.

Anyways hope you enjoy.

If I ever get a flick of the first one, Il post if for sure.

TABOO paints Askew's sketch

So Saturday morning I woke up all prepared to paint the 1st out line that Askew submitted for me to paint. I intended to paint it on a box truck that makes fruit deliveries throughout Brooklyn. But as I looked out the widow I saw the storm clouds on the horizon, I didn’t think I was going to paint at all. It drizzled on and off all morning, so I eventually got fed up waiting for good weather, and decided to paint a tunnel. I chose to paint the 2nd outline as my plans to paint the truck didn’t work out.

I didn’t intend to paint this outline so I didn’t really study it like I did the 1st one. After sketching the T – A, I started to get nervous that I would get lost as the shapes were so unfamiliar to me. I kept referencing the printed out sketch, even as I filled in to double check myself. Once I had the piece filled in and started to cut out the letters, it all came together. I genuinely had a good experience painting this loose style.

For the most part I stayed true to Askew’s letter forms and modified a few of the throw offs. I stretched out the 2nd O and added a throw off to match the stretched out look of the T. My favorite part of the piece is the right leg of the A kicking the B in the ass... really clever.

Over all it was a great experience. Once again I’m really glad to be apart of this project. Sorry for the crappy photo, that’s actually a silver fill with white highlights. The glare from the opening of the tunnel makes the silver look white.

POSE sketches by ASKEW

Yo! Here's a page of Pose sketches.. must be the weekend for rocking the 'P' names, but man, how different is Pose to Poet to draw, even with 3 of the same letters!!! Hope you like these guys and I'm certain you will reinterpret them in a masterful and highly technical way!!!

POET sketches by ASKEW

Here's a page of sketches I did for Poet. the middle one is my favourite but I'm happy with the whole page over all... I hope you find one of these good to paint and really look forward to seeing the end result. Atom from Dortmund was the first to really show me Berlin graffiti and stress how dope it is. Ever since then I have been a huge fan of your work along with Phos4, Amok and many others featured in the Writing book. Atom brought me that book as a gift to show me that there were many interesting ways to paint truly classic and still innovate. That marked a major turning point in my life as far as style goes...

"Askew" by Poet

ASKEW paints STAE2 outline

Hey everyone. Did this yesterday, put together the video last night and spent the day trying to upload it whilst doing other shit but it honestly wouldn't upload!! It's finally up now and there for critique, scrutiny and general feedback..

Stae2, I enjoyed painting this a lot and I tried to find some harmony between the classic NYC structure of your sketch combined with the loose astro cap approach I take.. I found some similarities in how we both approach connecting the letters of my name (perhaps just the most practical options) but there were some aspects of your sketch so removed from how I would ever think to do them. I noticed that I missed the extra arrow connection off the S below the A by mistake, likely because I didn't look back at the sketch much after the initial lines were up.

I can't take full credit for this colour scheme, Stray RTR had suggested an Autumn outline and dark earth tones for the fill to me the night before. I think the tanami and blues really set it off and having the same Sirum black red in the 3D as fill is risky but almost gives this a no outline 3D feeling..

ASKEW paints CECS sketch Part2

This the second CECS outline from the page of sketches he did that I HAD to rock. I mainly had to do it because I could see it on the classic NZ freight, the Space Runner. I think it came out all good too!
