Graffiti Pics

I remembered something from 'Style Wars' that the arrow became a symbol. Everyone had their own unique arrow in their names etc.

This picture of a girl dressed in clothing and accessories that scream graffiti all over moved me to focus on female graffiti artists instead of the typical male. Hopefully it can generate a much more powerful 'family' of products that interests both genders of the same subculture.

I have been reading a few biographies of graphic artists to get a feel of their lifestyle.
One website i found talks about their career and what inspired them. Take a look: http://www.artsconnect.com.au/artists/graffiti/graffiti.htm

The following websites are pure biographies I've read. These are great stuff to help with the user-scenario.
http://www.graffiti.org/dondi/zeph.html (Dondi Obituary - Italian and African American Graphic Artist)
http://renegagnonfineart.com/rg_bio.html (Rene Gagnon - American post-graffiti Abstract Expressionist)

The Teacher, the Designer and the Student!

Finally something to work with! I call it The Amy! Anyway, i will be actively posting up my findings and inspirations and more so feel free to roam around and comment!
