casekonly Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Originally posted by seeking i don't think it's considered name dropping when you're in the same crew with the guy, ya know? either way, i walk around every st patrick's day wearing a shirt that says 'kiss me, i'm e-friends with joker' so i mean, i'm probably guilty as well. :o does that work? i mean, if it does, i might have to buy a shirt off of you.

seeking Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 um, EVERYTHING giant does is generally done with nothing but sharpie. if you see a black and white drawing, chances are real good there were no pencils involved. and no, the shirt doesn't work.

Guest Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 you might know more about him than I do seeks, but he clearly uses more than just a sharpie. okay... so he probably uses just a sharpie and a fineliner. but yeah... those lines are way to small for a sharpie. at least I think I read something like that in the joker/giant collab book.

seeking Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Originally posted by <KEY3> you might know more about him than I do seeks, but he clearly uses more than just a sharpie. i don't know all that much about him but i know a little bit about his work. having spent a few years living in the bay and having mutual friends, it's hard not to. he seems to be the kind of guy that even his close friends are constantly amazed at the stuff he does, so stories get passed around, not as gossip, but out of respect and awe. anyway, i would assume the fine lines are done with a fine tipped sharpie, but i could be wrong. also, i think one of his zines focused on more technical style pieces, and for that one he used some pencil. (just trying to be factual). dude's an incredible example of someone who's mastered every aspect of graff. from bombing, to pieces, letters and characters. he's completely set himself apart from everyone else and even though he uses alot of traditional tattoo and mexican imagry, you can always tell when it's his stuff. i'm alot like joker i guess, in that nothing ive ever done (or tried to do) looks remotely like him, but the way he goes about his stuff is a huge motivator. seeks/climbs down from jock, laughing, thinking about the 'get's beat up by ravers' diss piece.

Actually, two designs for tattoos on him. One on each arm. Both say Giant. One day, I hope to return the favor and let him do some work on me...

Abracadabra Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Originally posted by Joker Yea, you like the black and white work... a little bit of info on that stuff. It's all done with Sharpie pens. There's no initial pencil sketch to start him off. He literally hits pen to paper and has at it. Which makes some of those little framed black and white drawings you see... simply amazing. i don't know about anyone else, but for me this is the only way to draw. i can't use a pencil to do an initial sketch (i've tried, it turns out awful every time). thanks to one of my early graphics teahcers for telling me "don't be afraid to just draw a line".

crave Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 most of the time i'll go with an initial pencil sketch, but sometimes just going with the flow helps to get the creative juices flowing. for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
