Right then. This isnt so much of an update on my work, but an update on thinkin where my mural may go. It all started yesterday (Saturday) when I went on a mission to meadowhall, from looking through certain shops I stumbled into Footlocker, just for a quick glance at trainers.
It was in this store a t-shirt caught my eye, which made me think about the direction of my mural. The t-shirt was of the Statue of Liberty, although instead of holding the torch, it had a graffiti can and was in the middle of creating graffiti. How I wish Id have got a picture of the t-shirt.
But the main thing is it made me think that maybe my mural could take an urban twist with it aswell, using graffiti for type, and maybe playing with some images as though they have been tampered with, by disrespectful youths!
Like the picture above, as though someone has actually defaced the Statue of Liberty.

This idea I think could also work with other images, maybe of a run down taxi, (like the above) burnt out abused and slap some graffiti on for the ultimate urban look.
Although this street/urban idea would have to keep with my illustration style, once iv decided the style Im going to follow.
Another interesting thing I found based around milton glasers I love new york logo is this design for a t-shirt. Aimed more towards the car enthusiasts, its a Toyota Supra drifting around the logo, with tyre prints going through the heart. Not necessarily to do with my illustrative style but personally I found it aesthetically pleasing enough to share with you, the viewer.
