Amplifying and illuminating text final outcome!

This is another project where i was asked to take a quote and mine was "Eating is a silly thing, in order to get food into your stomach you've got to push it through your face" by Dagwood. The final is mainly hand rendered but then edited in photoshop. The aim for me was to work in my usual rough style but to still be professional in my outcome, this is why i have also created a vectorised piece, if your new to vectorising its basicly when you live trace the image and essentially take away most of the detail so the image can then be printed to any size you want and no pix elation will take place.

Appropriation!

If you are not familiar with what this word means it is basicaly when we use a technique from someone or something and then using it in your own practise, this is not copying or plaguerism but a simple way of bettering your work by learning from others. The artist that i chose was "BLU" am artist that i have always been aware of but only last year did i start to look at his work and that is when i started using appropriation to better my work by using his techniques in my own. Anyway my uni asked me too do this as a small project, and here is what ive come up with, you will notice some pencil lines where ive annotated them but just ignore them.
