I made this one in my room at home. See my tag on the bottom left? CZA (spell “ceesa”), which means Comic Ztyle Art (smart again, isn’t it?).

Old School: Black Book One

Recently, while searching for some of my typography stuff because I had to design the logo for a game, I stumbled across my old black books. It was fun to watch all the graffiti sketches and characters I designed those days – almost 20 years ago now…

It’ll take a few more months before I can show you pictures of my current projects, so I decided to put some of my early works here. Watch out for more.

This should be a tribute to Bob Kane, the creator of Batman. But in fact it never made it upon a wall…

I wasn’t the wild style writer type of a sprayer but much more into characters.

For this piece I got inspired by the comic “Dark War” from Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy

The next few images show the process of a graffiti the way I did it:

First the rough sketch to find the shape of the character and the flow of the letters.

Next, I did the layout and used it for my color sketch.

Now it’s getting serious: doing the fill-ins.
