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.
This is awesome Taboo, one of my faves for sure...great symmetry and attitude on these letters
ReplyDelete-real interested in seeing Roids flip this
Damn thats fresh!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the line in the leg of the R that transfers into the 3D, thats a nice line next to the curve of the leg. The transparency of the sketch is cool and lends to a lot of room for interpretation.
ReplyDeleteDoes the arrow above the D extend from the S or is it connected to/ extending from the bottom of the slice of the D?
That arrow above the D comes from the S.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feed back/ questions. I left the piece "transparent" for that reason. For my own outlines, I make the final decisions at the wall. This is actually the 2nd to last progress shot. The final version got a little over kill with arrows and connections on the already hidden D.
