Now that i've seen a little of the dudes work i can say he's nice with paint realy smooth technique but as far as style goes it's coming form all over the place mostly a lot of Mid ninties euro influence scien and klor do similar stuff as they also jock alot of styles i personally credit Berlin writers for that wild style with thin pumps and flred letters check Phos 4 or Odem.

No doubt..Phos 4, Odem and Amok are really some of my favourite for letter construction..Atom really put me onto those guys style when he was discussing my letter structures..I def think I was one of those kids that learnt technique before good foundation and still feel I'm a student of the letter...I still look to Dondi and the above mentioned names for a lot of understanding of good letter balance and flow.

Magazines and the internet have kind of spread styles to different places recentlye i'm seeing Spanish writers doing german styles personally it sucks i prefer a homegrown style like Atome ibs or Delta writing is getting watered down and blanded out by over exposure and fame jocking.

Thats definitely true..I guess our old school wasn't that forthcoming with info nor that dedicated that we had any follow through wit indigenous style..It dissapoints me but makes me happy at the same time. I'm glad our writers can now paint with some of the worlds best and hold their own..The international flavour of our work really does represent the nature of our country though..Especially Auckland..It's truly a diverse place.

I seen askew writing "style master 2003" above a piece ??? Thats a title reserved for very few Part TDS or Noc 167 Chain3 Dondi Phase2 you reckon your in the same league?
|
haha..Well I actually wrote "Style Mastery" which refers more to my quest to master letters not really that I think I'm there, you know. I still feel like a student..I like looking at different styles and applying what I can see in technique and application that I can apply to my own work..I take it really seriously actually...

That discussion on hollow letters and who did what check a Rick Griffin Book published by paper tiger and see what that dude was doing with letters in the 60's (a big Writing influence )
|
Thanks for that, I must check that out.

Anyways i reckon new Zealand being so remote should probably have a very unique style of it's own sure there were other writers out there from the 80's just like other countrys.

Guess I kinda gave you an answer for that above....

Is there realy anything being done with the dimensional style that Delta inc didn't already do first time round?
|
Well I think there can be, which has been prooven by many other 3D masters:
Loomit: Incorporation of natural elements, extreme tension and fish eye perspectives.
Daim: Use of realistic light, tangible shadows, 3D glasses effect, a style with the face smashed off, pixelised effect, half submerged under water, sculpture wit a number of mediums including snow, cement, wood..., splashed paint effect.
Seak: Organic, phallic and insect like forms.
Totem: Gunndam warrior style, More cartoon like in application. Able to defend itself, much to the phillosophy of Rammellzee and Dondi.
I feel delta is definitely a style leader, but I havent seen most of those techniques touched on by him...Mostly he uses industrial and architectural design elements and good strong limited colour pallet. He has kept the outline on most of his stuff too...
