Graffiti artist Roy Christie

This afternoon i was listening and taking an interest in to Roy the graffiti artist, He made me experiment with types of style and techniques of using and pencil and a pen but i imagen my holding a spray can and a wall, so i can put myself into Roy's persition as he is the graffiti artist before we started the experiments, He told us about how graffiti started in the 60's the by the 80's  how about people were treated differently from being ingored by talking but when they grabbed a can it was different they were heard, Some older generations may well think it looks horrible but our cities look dull without any colour on the walls graffiti is just art but its can also be illegal if you don't get the permission from the city council. He was really down to earth Roy was he told us how he started off just painting with paint brush when he was eight years old, then he told us how he met some one graffitti artist, What he has done for communities how he helped out Devonport high school, His inspirations the positives and negative of them and explained why he liked/disliked them. In all a very good workshop i want more of them.


big thanks to Mars and Lee =]
