See One Interview on BSA https://www.thedistortedperception.com/2012/08/see-one-interview-on-bsa/ Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:16:09 +0000 http://www.thedistortedperception.com/?p=1125 My good friend See One just had an interview featured on brooklyn street art.  It’s an in depth look at the artists process and the evolution of his shards technique.

A New York native, See One is a self-taught visual artist with a big imagination which was electrified as a kid in the city seeing graffiti growing up in the 1980s. Constantly drawing for hours on end as a child, he was also inspired by the characters, cartoons, and comic books of the time and he began creating his own world at a young age in sketchbooks and on walls. His initial pieces on the street were character-based and paid homage to that earlier New York traditional graffiti style, and he still likes that too.

Around 2009 See One began to experiment and develop a more abstract style for his works on canvas and on the street, using a recurring symbol that he now refers to as “Shards”. As his style evolved, a new world opened before him as his swift and swooping hand and arm movements produced fluid and jagged abstract graffiti patterns that fly and flow, evoking broken shards of glass that inhabit a third dimension, making the art pop off the wall. With this new practice, See One effectively opened a door for himself to combine graffiti and Street Art influences into one distinctive vision.

I got back to my graffiti roots today and did my first piece in 3 yrs. Had a limited amount of paint so my color selection isn’t top notch, but i’m very happy to know I’m still sharp with the can (without stencils). Thanks to the NYC Arts Cypher for the wall.

I attached the original sketch, but had to alter it on spot to fit the wall.

Jilly Ballistic – Faux Computer alert street art https://www.thedistortedperception.com/2012/07/jilly-ballistic-faux-computer-alert-street-art/ Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:16:10 +0000 http://www.thedistortedperception.com/?p=1095 Just came across a new street artist i haven’t heard of yet. Her name is Jilly Ballistic and she puts faux computer alerts on subway advertisements. They’re both comical and intelligent, along with well placed. I bet your average passerby doesn’t even notice the changes.

Went to the Wellington Court Mural Block party yesterday to shoot some pictures and see it for the first time. Although i didn’t paint i had an awesome time catching up with old friends and meeting some new ones. Artists coming together is always such an awesome time. Here’s some photos from the event. Hope to paint next year!

All my old prismas skinny ends are all dead so i had to do the whole piece with the fat ends which is a pain in the ass for details. Still happy with the results. Been a real long time since i did a black book.

She’s now nine and has developed some serious style. What were you doing at 9? FuzzCat is rocking 50 foot murals in awesome kicks. Im not sure but i think her dad is Aroe Msk. She’s on track to be the next Mad C.
