I think you spelt it wrong Replete, it was the grass (not graff) scene in Holland you meant right? ;D

Replete with a new piece, by BlightSociety on Jul 18, 2008 2:39:15 GMT 1, Now this ties in with what Banksee asked and in answer to that I painted it at my own expense for myself in my own time rather than as a paid commission. There's nothing I'd rather do in life than paint graffiti outside as there's nothing that comes close to the satisfaction I get from painting a piece or production and standing back at the end and know all the effort was worth it. I paint canvases and commissions to fund my graffiti and I do love painting the canvases but nothing beats being outdoors with a can in your hand and a bag full of paint to play with. And if you've got your friends and other graf writers around you to paint a production together that's one of the best things on this planet to me. Also the universal positive feedback from all the passers by who come and talk to me whilst I'm painting is another big motivator in what I do.
A philosophy of life to envy. Breathtaking work man one day I hope it’ll adorn the walls of my flat but till then I’ll just have to make do with a desktop.

Replete with a new piece, by Replete on Jul 19, 2008 14:33:59 GMT 1, Here's a sequence of how the piece was put together. I took a different approach to this piece as I would normally start with the beige back ground first and finish the face last. There was quite a bit of wind gusting so the paint was overspraying and blurring a bit so I had to work ialong the wind direction to cover up any overspray.
Also I painted the face first as I couldnt decide on the background colour combos on the first day and went back to my studio to pickup the mauve colours.
Each piece requries to be put together differently and that what makes it interesting and challenging especially when you get two or more writers working together on a production as everyone works in a different way.
