GRAFFITI & ILLUSTRATION
I was commissioned to design and spray paint an art piece in the commissioners' living room in 2021.
Overview
The commissioners asked for a parrot design which included two last names and they were seeking a graffiti piece not just a painting. The piece should be large and act as a focal point on their living room.
The piece was completed in 1.5 weeks and is roughly 2 meters tall.
Process
I had never held a spray can before, but approached the project as any other.
Stage 1: Kick off chat, thumbnails, sketches and approval
Stage 2: Design the piece, approval and acquire materials
Stage 3: Pencil design onto wall using projector
Stage 4: Learn the medium of spray painting, paint the piece and use stencils for typography

Take Aways
This was an exceptional learning opportunity with some greatly engaged commissioners. This project has shown me just how much art can affect people positively and the importance of having support and encouragement in your network as an artist. I will never fear an unfamiliar project again, because I have proven that I have the skills to succeed.
