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!

Create Sonic The Hedgehog Opening on Illustrator
The other day while I was cleaning up some stuff in my bedroom I've found my Sega Genesis - Mega Drive in Brazil, one of the first 16 bit consoles released in the 90s. I remember most of my friends were more into Mario Bros because they had a SuperNES. I played Mario Bros years later, but at that time my eyes were focused only on playing frenetically Sonic The Hedgehog almost everyday.
