ENSOE/RIME EXCHANGE

I had a chance to paint a sketch that Joe drew for me when he was in vancouver. I wanted to stick with the loose letter body and creative color composition he's been rocking recently, so I chose to fill the piece with roller buff and treat it more as if it was part of the wall, rather than something I was painting on top of a wall. At first it was harder than I thought, but once I got the hang of it, I found the style very forgiving and fun to paint. I would have liked to spend some more time on details of the piece, but we got spooked a few times by train workers and had to leave..

Thanks for the sketch Joe! Would love to hear some feedback .

ENSOE paints ROIDS sketch...

This was one of the more challenging sketches Ive had to paint so far. Mostly due to the round edges and trajectory of the letters...I love the way the S swings into a diffrent direction..
I think im going to try painting this one again, or maybe another sketch from roids..If feel theres so much you can do with this style. Thanks man! I broke alot of "habits" by painting this.

ROIDS SKETCHES BY ENSOE

Finally managed to get these inked and uploaded. Here ya go Roids! The first one is a I dunno "Contemporary geometric style?" Something I thought you could play around with. The 3d is only implied so by any means feel free to alter it. The second one is more of a concept peice I drew when I was nice and toasted...I gotta give my girl OROE credit for the alien abduction "I" idea . I wouldnt expect you to re create this if you choose to paint it, but use it as an impression or Idea for something of yours. Ultimately its up to you..Cant wait to see what you come up with!?!!?

POSE SKETCH'S BY ENSOE

Here's a couple for chi-town's finest pose.. Ahuge inspiration to me since the day I picked up a can over a decade ago. So this is a real honour.. The first one is a simpler older sketch I did, and the second one is some new skool funk I think you'd have fun with... Kill it homie!!!

POSE PAINTS SIRUM SKETCH

Yo Sirum!

I was out of commission for a while but finally got to take a crack at your sketch.  I love the flow and shape it was a blast to paint.  I was having trouble getting the "e" to bang the right way (might have had to do with the burnt out car remnants, mattresses and bags of ?) so I put it in the microwave and cooked it for a while, and bugged out a little.  I definitely think i might give it a second go, its a killer sketch man thanks again,  I gotta return the favor soon!

Cheers
