American Graffiti
7:00 AM
Here we go with day three of the Digit-al Dozen art challenge. Today's mani is inspired by graffiti. I actually quite like graffiti. I know it's basically vandalism but I think it's really interesting to see the different styles and types. Street art is usually inspired by a very different muse than classic art. That said I'm not super great AT graffiti. My husband used to draw fat graffiti letters which were really cool but I failed at recreating them. So this is a sort of lame attempt but I liked the results anyway! I used a suede base to emulate concrete and then used a series of neons and some black and white polish to create the letters. I used a matte top coat over the whole of it since I felt it looked more graffiti-like! Don't forget to check on the other girls art work for today's challenge!

Those are cool! I like the color variations you used to fill in the letters.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do Grafitti so bad, but I kind of suck at it! This looks stunning Bee!
ReplyDeleteAnd here's a funny story about Grafitti I have to share: When I lived in DE there was a guy who would grafitti the word "poop" on random walls and stuff all over the state. It became a game when we would see "poop" written all over the state. Still makes me giggle...
