Jurne/Bates Exchange

BATES hooked me up with a nice outline in Poland during our show.
I took my try at making the piece accurate to the sketch, up and down on the ladder trying to get the proportions right.
I have always dug how BATES has a mix of classic graffiti styles, with the odd spike or sharp extension in his letters, and was hyped to see how he mixed these ideas with my name.
The subtle sine curves of many of the lines caught my attention through the sketching process.
I change the E a bit, digging the big throwoff at the bottom. I matched up on the colors of the HOPS and OUCH pieces that were already done below me so as to not stick out like a sore thumb:

Bates by Poet

BATES Sketch By SUEME

Sueme Writes: I just finished the Bates exchange sketch that we talked about. I did the sketch really big its about 38" x 14" in size. I found it to be a bit tricky when sketching it out with pencil but inking with a sharpie was really fun and seemed easier than any of my previous graffiti sketches. let me know if you need a higher res. file. I have attached two pieces, one is just the sketch by itself, and the second one I added a background to it really quickly in photoshop to separate the piece from its white background(its a bit easier to read whats going on) anyway let me know what you think. peace!

the fantastic four

this is a quick action i did with Bates, outside the gallery in berlin for the opening of the exchange exibition. Bates painted the PO from a sketch done by Serval and i painted the ET from a sketch of Stae2. I really liked it because it was a multiple-exchange and it seems like there is no limits of how to creat a piece. the only thing is you need to have style, then everything fits together. you know PLUS+PLUS=PLUS
