I know this has more of an overall outline on it rather than individual letters, is this too graf influienced to be abstract? still just trying things out so always like to hear what you have to say about it.

 

I think there is probably too much letter in it to be abstract, im just getting a feel for it on paper before I try it on canvas

just my $.02, but i'd say it's still in the 'abstracted' category. how far abstracted is a relative enterprise...but i wouldn't call it a graff piece necessarily. i'd like to see the finished version. it'll be interesting to see what the change in medium will do for the flavor of what you're going for.

Interesting. I would say just the opposite. Still looks to close to conventional Graffiti, to me. The fill, the black outer-outline... just a few of the things that keep it traditional.

 

I'm not saying you can't do simple, elegant traditional looking Graffiti that has an element of abstract flavor... look at Preys... but in the image above there's just too much "Graffiti" in there.

If you're in the bay area please be advised that one of our fellow artists, Augustine Kofie, is having a solo show at White Walls gallery on 835 Larkin. Show opens tomorrow night and if you dig abstract art you're going to dig his work.
