Project Title: Urban Environments

My project ended up being inspired by gritty urban environments, dilapidated streets and the graffiti that appears within these places. I used animals as a broad starting point to explore different styles and techniques; I ended up being drawn towards the erratic, expressive and gritty styles. I narrowed the focus towards Pigeons, as they tend to inhabit these areas most often. My final pieces used a combination of collage work, spray-paint, graffiti marks and biro drawing. My aim was to recreate the sense of anarchy and doom found in the graffiti in these run down areas.
