Awesome Street Drawings by Jessie Douglas

September 01, 2009 from amanda's blog

I know I just posted about illustrations the other day, but lately I've unmasked this love for them that I never knew I had, so bear with me while I get it out of my system, folks! Today I bring you some really cool street drawings from UK artist, Jessie Douglas.

From grass to grey my journey has brought me to Plymouth city where I found my work rebelling against my country upbringing and reflecting a growing interest in the grunge and grime of the urban environment. Everything I discover around me has potential... urban detritus, peeling paint and filthy concrete structures. I find the ugly and mundane to be beautiful, its character and stories inspiring.

I love to see different artists rendering of the regular stuff we surround ourselves with everyday. It's an interesting perspective when you step back and take a look at the things around you with a fresh pair of eyes. Don't forget to check out Jessie's portfolio, and get back to me with feedback/suggestions on twitter or facebook!

 Book Suggestion: Visual Complexity - Mapping Patterns of Information
The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
