norisus:

I said that I’d show some tutorials I have saved up to someone, but decided that I’d just go ahead and post most of what I have stored away and create a sort of masterpost out of it. (I figure it’ll help me just as much since, as of now, they’re all pretty scattered between my Tumblr and bookmarks)

A lot of these are hosted on my personal Tumblr, but I don’t change my url so it’s pretty safe to bookmark them there (and not have to worry about the url changing) if you don’t wish to reblog them yourself for whatever reason.

Have you ever walked around in Lower Manhattan and noticed a trail of paint on the sidewalk?

About 3 years ago, one of my friends in school decided to follow the trail around and noticed that the trail produced the image that you see above; a strange-looking rendering of what appeared to be the word “momo.” MOMO, we found out, was the name of an artist that used to be based in NYC, and sure enough, the one responsible for tagging his name across the width of Manhattan.

After requesting a meetup, MOMO told my friend that he accomplished this task by fixing 5 gallon paint buckets to the back of his bike, poking a hole in the bottom of the containers, and riding though the West Village, SoHo, Greenwich Village, East Village, and Alphabet City. Momo made the tag in 2006. Some parts of the line have been covered up by roadwork and redone sidewalks but most of the line is still visible.

To me, the interesting thing about the line is how both similar and different it is to regular graffiti. Essentially, most graffiti writers enjoy seeing their name on things. The bigger they can paint it and the more visible their tag is, the more people will notice their conquering of the city. MOMO created the largest tag in New York, yet the scale of his work here, so massive that it can’t all be viewed at once, means that thousands of people will walk on it each day and never even notice it. It’s simultaneously the biggest and smallest artistic statement I have seen in my time here.

MOMO made a video about the line which you can see here.

If you ever walk over it, now you’ll know what you’re looking at.

This is epic, epic street art.

THE REAL LIFE MODELS BY FLORA BORSI

Photographer, Graphic Designer Flora Borsi (facebook | behance) - “Nowadays almost every photographer use graphics software to complete the picture, like many painters used ‘original version’ in the past.

Some artists use pure imagination to paint their artworks, others may prefer to create art by using a real life model as reference for the anatomy.

What if these abstract models were real people?”

This is fascinating.

Oh wow.  I think I saw this being painted…maybe…back in 1989.  Is that possible? 

At the time I was visiting relatives near Delemont in Switzerland.  I could swear that during our many trips to and from the city by rail I watched the gradual progression of exactly this piece.  In fact, I’m pretty damn sure it was exactly this piece.

Unless this is a duplicate.  Would that even happen?  Would someone duplicate this kind of art?  Does the world do that?

Either way, it was SUCH a pleasant surprise to see this again.  What a way to make a girl flash back to the summer of ‘89.

How to draw a fist! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH

fists are always the hardest thing for me to try and draw, let alone the fact that they are hands! 

I can’t believe the solution was this simple!

All of these are weirdly sinister to me, even though it is only the last one that hints at mortality.
