The Exchange was started in 2005, with six participants from different areas of the United States. The group is currently made up of 35 members from 14 countries worldwide. The participants of The Exchange trade names and personal styles through sketches. This step is repeated until everyone in the group has traded outlines at least once.
The sketches are drawn, scanned, and traded via email. They are then printed out and executed by the receiving artist in their particular city.
The objective is to create an awareness of distinct lettering styles and trends. The goal is for all in the group to be able to become more versatile through attempts at graffiti styles out of their personal comfort zone. The artists in the group may learn new techniques and compositions from the exchange.
Yes! Cant wait to see Cecs paint this.
ReplyDeleteI like the boxy outside shape with the curved interiors on the Cs and the mummy head wrap bit on top of the C...dope.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Dude this is WILD. It's definitely going to be really difficult for me to paint this but I'll give it a shot! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHes, I'm down with this long fluid line thing you have going on. Can you draw me one?
ReplyDeleteCecs, I feel that the goal is to pull as much as you need from this sketch. Since it is so loose, overlapped, and instant, I think that trying to duplicate it exactly would be the unsuccessful route to take. I'd try starting off with the base idea then experiment from there.
Yeah I think that's going to be my approach. I really dig how loose and confident the lines are, I just hope that the final product on my end still does the original sketch some justice.
ReplyDeleteim really happy you guys like these lines!
ReplyDeletefor me, this started to make sence since im working a lot with latex for the fill in of my pieces, to do the whole fill in and then do the piece perfect on top, so the opaque latext textures contrast the spray glossiness, i love that shit!
im really looking forward to you painting this style, ive been working on it for not so long and i still havent painted one i feel happy about!
for me its mainly the concept of not wasteing lines, line reclying !
ill definetly work on couple ones for you now joe!
i like them arrows!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking you probably would need to warm up to do one of these. Like when you go do throwups and they only get real good after you've done 3-4 quickly. Looks like a lot of fun to paint! And those arrows are on point!
