Awesome Street Drawings by Jessie Douglas
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!

Very cool drawing! Nice notebook!
I love the style throughout these pieces and the use of negative space is really nice. Amazing how proper consideration of negative space can help make a piece really fill a page.
Each to their own, but I'm not fussed on that style one bit.
pretty nice, ill go out to take some inspiration about the streets near to where i live to do some similar, =P would be nice that everyone show the place where they live in this form.
great post
Great post! I thought some of the effects were done digitally. But when I saw the moleskin drawings, it was quite a surprise especially the no park sign. Very talented indeed!
I have always wanted to live in a place that is very green. A place with some rich culture and History. I am a Mexican American citizen. Born in the US from Mexican parents. I am currently working on getting my bachelors degree in human development and plan to go for a masters in therapy. I am also the first person in my family to ever go to college...or even graduate from high school.
