Bite is a graffiti study that copies an existing writer's style by replicating their letter forms and structure while altering the color palette and text to the decided upon word "Lucky."

drawing letter forms

I was randomly assigned the artist Cren One who has sharp, jagged letter forms and bold outlines. His style makes the letters just barely legible, enough to grab the attention of strollers out on a morning walk.

converting to digital

Once I had the sketch completed, I hoped into Photoshop and began digitally painting away. I chose colors from the hardcore spray paint website to make it as accurate as possible to the final result.

back to real life…

Everything was going well… a little too well. Something bad was destined to happen. It rained for 4 days straight. Because of this, my one week deadline was thankfully pushed back a day and I was able to get the result I wanted.
