I voted Baphomet..

people complaining about colour are toys... colour is great... but if dudes cant construct decent type across the piece, whats the point, you just end up with a pretty little picture..

imo both have a couple of elements of poor type; some down to my own personal taste, some down to mixture of style - which requires a certain level of skill to execute as SV said...

DM:
safe man, I kind of have a feeling you just starting out/ experimenting and aren't neccesarily a serious/experienced wrter, simly from the toy moves you have going on.. e.g a random gun + the length and lack of personal style in your tag..? As for my issues with the piece... your J imo is allllll fucked up, the O bares no similarity to the rest of the piece, which is not neccesarily a prob, but is here. The base of the R, looks like you got a little trigger happy with the pencil bro... a few too many curves and corners on it for me..All in all this is a decent blackbook sketch; that I would spend weeks improving before I could show anyone, i wouldnt even throw that up... feels like a quick initial idea rather than a completed piece...

BT:
I dont like the space between the J and the O, on quick glance... I think there is two words...MAJ and OR...The base and tail on your R is a little too much for me aswell, the curves on it are very jagged and irregular... Also, did you switch from pen to pencil/pastel? or did your pen run out or something lol I ee how yu tried to bring all into one with the arrow in the background... but it comes out of nowhere... I would have had it begin at the tail of the R maybe and then spiral back round to line off the A and exit underneath or twisted around the M. But thats persona taste/style. The horns on the J don't really fit for me..All in all its a pretty solid piece...I wouldnt think your a toy if I saw it anywhere, but I wouldn't neccesarily be like "dope ass style here"...

Good ish from both of you.. Keep it alive y'all

Anyone looking to get into graf - check out my site @ http://www.graffitiresource.co.uk - have a look around, you can see my sexy ass in the About page and my homie Slimza and read the lil bio aswell.. check out the gallery etc... any of you with blackbook worj you dont mind being on the site send it over via the contact page.


Wouldn't mind getting involved in the next lil matchup myself... Need to get back to my blackbook roots before I can start thinking about getting up again...

Bless
