Introduction to Drawing - Street Art on James St

Part of the course is about research and text - I researched artists using Text (e.g. Lesley Dill) in their artwork, and found a whole bunch of urban artists in and around the Brisbane area.... this piece is taken from various photographs collaged together from the James Street graffiti walls...

Other excellent artists to look out for are Banksy, and Shepperd (OBEY)...
