graffiti mosaic Dakar

                                             yes i come back with graffiti mosaic!

that lot of work this is true, but when i m with african friends, to make local wrestling  and when i see
the local wall, i m really motivate to make mosaic.....

start with the simple sketch
stay simple are the best for this type of work...

hours after hours this start to be cool

the 2 brothers Samba and Baye come to give me help to make finishing

even the signature will be in broken tiles "mosaic style"

this type of work is long and hard, because condition not easy and hard sun
but the happyness to work with local people and talking with them, this is real exchange!
and this is strong value for me

graffiti wood letterzz

since longtime ago i want make my  graffiti wood letters.

so when i was in Indonesia i meet some craftsmans, and i decided to work together.

for give to you an idea, just for create the shape of one letter, this take 3 days, and 2 more days for all the finishing.

so a total of 5 days for one letter!
so i start with  the "Z"

for have this result of finishing
you cannot imagine how many hours of sanding,
and and spraying mat clearcoat, and sanding again,
and spraying mat clearcoat again and again....
