21- Last of the Lover Series, thankfully, 1982.


Luckily, the blackbook Lover series has come to an end, this being the last piece I will be showing. The L as in the previous pieces underlines and grounds the piece and becomes the basis for all the letters after even if the R continues solely. I was really concentrating on keeping the design markers from bleeding (new markers bleed so much more than older markers) over past the outline which as you can see is so super very thin.
I was experimenting with the balance between color and outline and there is a stray blue drip that kelps sell the idea of a 3D because it changes direction at the 3D.
This outline as a couple of others could also hang today proving that at certain times my style may be regarded as timeless. Something I am fortunate about.
Check out the lines on the 3D, they are even from the left side of the piece right on through to the right side meaning that i was conscious of the effect it would leave behind before I was even done with the piece..
Im proud of this outline mostly because it shows me that there was more going on in my head than just doing graffiti for the sake of graffiti. I wont be the first or last artist to fall from this.
