HESOE / KAPUT

here is a crazy sketch by hesoe...........it was a lot of fun to paint and a great challenge trying to interpret hesoe's off the wall style...........thx dude!

here is a dope sketch by cecs.......i tried to stay close to the o.g. drawing as much as possible. i had to add the arrow in the top right corner to balance it out, cause i ended up making the piece slump on the right....haha shit.

CECS SKETCH BY SIRUM1

Here you go Cecs , a reasonably
traditional style jazzed up with a few
designs and effects..
I have been really digging the use of
Black and red over white. I think for
this sketch in particular it works perfectly, Hope you Enjoy!

BATES SKETCH BY SIRUM1

Hey mate, I have been mucking around with the old "HORROR"
fonts in recent times.. A concept
I know you are familiar with,
So I thought you might appreciate this sketch I designed for you.

- Peace

SHOTS SKETCH BY SIRUM1

Hey Shots - I got my sketch on the other night and I have had
you in mind for a while now... So hope you like!
I have been playing around with distorted letter shapes with semi
illogical structures, but still trying to maintain the original essence
of the overall design...

SIRUM Sketch By SORIE

I've been really into Sirum's work for quite a while now, so I felt that I really need to push myself, especially with this sketch plus there's three of his letters in my name.
Usually I don't do full color sketches, but I felt like I had to for this cause.
Hope you like it mate!

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.

Hesoe paints Poet sketch

Yo Poet! Out of both sketches you did i liked the structure on this one, really dig the way the bottom leg on the S came out of the E and the finishing E ... added some funky people .. hope you like it bro, thanks for the sketch!
Looking forward to getting some more sketches people! and to check the book.. great job Joe!

THE EXCHANGE BOOK PREVIEW

On The Run Book # 8: THE EXCHANGE

Acclaimed graffiti collective The Exchange has created a stir with a dynamic style dialogue. The idea behind the project is for members to pair up, trade sketches and rock diverse styles outside of their usual comfort zones. These experiments are then posted online to be applauded and critiqued by members. A verbal and visual style assault from some of the finest active writers across the globe: EWOK, REVOK, RIME, PERSUE, YES 2, POSE, STAE 2, SNOW, BATES, SERCH, POET, KACAO 77, SCOTTY 76, ASKEW (just to name a few). This book is jam-packed with expert style antics. You might want to get your sketchbooks out and start taking notes.
