This street art is the most like what I have been doing in my sketchbook, as it contains no colour, and is generally on textured plain white backgrounds. I like his work, as I think it gives the audience an opportunity to apply their own meaning to the graffiti. To me, this image represents a single mother and her struggles. I couldn't possibly tell you why, although I do think that it might have something to do with the smoky background. The grey and black in the image contrast to some of the ideas I have had, although I think they're growing on me more.

I liked these images, as to me it represents something fun and exciting and new, because most 'famous' street art seems to be very literal and realistic, however this is most definitely not. the animated people depicted in every image almost seem childlike in their makeup, however the overall quality adds a touch of professionalism.

the colours in these pieces have been selected well, and jugging from the complimentary and sometimes very neon colours, they seem to remind me of the 80's which would fit into the theme of time and memories.`

This street art also inspired me even though it contrasts with the other styles that I have selected as these are very photo-realistic. the artist depicts faces onto sides of buildings, in a way that almost looks like printing.

I like that the artist is capturing peoples faces, many people that we, the audience, don't know. this allows us to put our own personal story to each piece of art. we get to analyse every wrinkle, cut and scar, and come up with our own reason that that person got it.
