Graffiti was used primarily by political activists to make statements and street gangs to mark territory. Though graffiti movements such as the Cholos of Los Angeles in the 1930s and the hobo signatures on freight trains predate the New York School, it wasn’t till the late 1960s that writing’s current identity started to form. Writing started moving from the streets to the subways and quickly became competitive. At this point writing consisted of mostly tags and the goal was to have as many as possible. Writers would ride the trains hitting as many subway cars as possible. It wasn’t long before writers discovered that in a train yard or lay up they could hit many more subway cars in much less time and with less chance of getting caught. The concept and method of bombing had been established.

Hello Gang, This is Mark your moderator of the Graphic Arts group. This week I just would like to point out some interesting things that have popped up in the graphic arts pool. Like this very interesting journal entry, take a look at What do you love most about design? and leave your thoughts. Some interesting work this week in the GA Pool: / AKINOLAUDE by J Velasco – The variation of photos and vectors, with such a vibrant palette really works for me. Buzz .4 by Ben Vernel The interesting type treatment looks like a logo for some crazy future party. and this isn’t favoritism but I think you should also check out Birds on black again by Ben Vernel I just think this is a unique colour scheme and approach. GA | Interview The second of our GA interviews is with a young graphic design student from Melbourne – Ayarti Tell us a little bit about yourself and your artistic background? / I’m a 22 year old Melbournian. I study Communication Design at Swinburne. My third year of study (this year) has been spent working in the design studio “D.I.G Multimedia” as part of Swinburne’s “Industry Placement” program. So basically that involves me working 4 days a week full time in the studio, and studying part time 1 day a week for a year. It has been a fantastic experience. As for artistic background, I have always been into drawing and art in general since I was a kid. My love for graphic art started when I picked up Photoshop 5 back in year 8 and painted fire decals up the side of a car, and I have never really looked back! I studied ‘Visual Communication and Design’ and ‘Multimedia’ in my VCE, spent a year at TAFE doing Applied Design, and now I’m in my third year of uni. What is the inspiration behind your works? / There are a lot of things that influence the work I do, and the way I do it. Each piece tends to be unique in terms of its inspiration and influence. For example, the piece Follow My Ruin basically came about while I was experimenting with a new font that I had downloaded. At the time the media was flooded with news of war, so that some what influenced the direction the experiment took. The title was lifted from a song by “Royksopp” of the same name, and I felt it was quite appropriate. So some of my work is inspired by the world around me, where as other pieces like Splash come to life through experimentation with other artistic medias. This piece came from some ink experiments. What is your personal favourite of all your works on redbubble today and why, and if you will explain a little on how it was created? / I guess if I had to choose one it’d be Numbers 1 or 2 . I’m a sucker for yellow at the moment, I absolutely love using it in design because of its brightness and emotive qualities. The pieces were created as part of a typographic study at uni. I was researching typography whose function is to simply communicate and not necessarily look great, but picks up aesthetic beauty through aging and weathering. One of the areas I looked into was telegraph poles and the yellow metal plates that are nailed to them. I collaged and multiplied a bunch of photos to come up with the pieces, which were designed to be postcards. The process was pretty simple, but I think the effect works well and I love the contrast of the black against the yellow. Which other redbubble artist do you admire? / I’ve only really got to know clothing designers at this stage, as I haven’t spent much time in the art section of the site. I think sjem has some really creative ideas and the ability to pull them off beautifully. I really love illustrative works as well, especially for shirts, so I’ve come to love the work of people like tambatoys and brigid . I wish I could draw like them! If a famous person bought your art from redbubble who would you like it to be and where would you like them to display it? / Music is a big part of my life, so it’d be cool if a famous musician bought my work and wanted to use it for album art, merchandise art, or tour posters or something like that. That’d be sweet. Tell us what are you doing in your free time? / I don’t have a whole lot of free time these days. I guess when I have it I try and spend it with friends. I go to a lot of concerts, I play indoor soccer twice a week, and whenever I have an inspirational spurt I try and add to my redbubble folio. I’ve become very interesting in making things by hand this year, like books and boxes and stuff. I’m really enjoying experimenting with paper folding and binding and printing onto various materials.
