Project 365: Day # 70 - Sunday, November 13, 2011 "Bombing the Paper"

I decided to title this blog "Legal Artwork" for a couple reasons. First of all let me just say that I'm very interested in drawing graffiti on paper. I said on paper, not on the walls. This traditional style of artwork began in the early 1970's in the tough boisterous streets of Philadelphia, PA where it all started where young teens, who are around my age and younger began to write their names or their initials on public property such as bus stop windows, inside of buses, trains, and of course the walls. Now these writings were consisted of small tags that included their name, the name of the neighborhood of where they're from, their nick name, or something that comes to their mind when they think of making sure that these people recognize who they are and eventually that hunger for popularity grew. They went from tags to a graffiti term called "bombing". As the time went by, so did the different styles of graffiti that was being presented on walls and windows. The techniques when it comes to bombing starts out as a daunting task and it will take some time before mastering it. I basically came up with my own style on paper and I mace it from just a boring old piece of paper with mundane qualities to something trully amazing and worth looking at. I was at the barber shop waiting to get my hair cut and I had five people in front of me. Therefore I took the time  to come up with what I like to call a "bombing on paper".
