Original artwork description:

This piece holds many hidden meanings within the cubic 154 inches it covers. The background of this canvas piece is made from torn out pages from a book of famous quotes. This gives it a very rustic feel, while holding true to its Urban roots. While many street artists are forced to put their beautiful works on old posters throughout cities, I believe that this circumstance in most cases gave their work special characteristics that a white canvas just cannot accomplish. The image that was drawn on top of the layered quotes was done using one of my favorite antique techniques, crosshatching. I felt it would only be right for antique quotes to be accented with a classic technique that would have been used during that time. The rest of the painting was done with a mixture of oil paint and marker to complete the desired effect

Materials used:

Oil Paint, Canvas, Pages from a Quote novel, Marker
