Graffiti Style Canvases for a Young Boy’s Room

April 7, 2016

Graffiti for kid's rooms by Allison CosmosThis was an unusual request…several graffiti style works of art for a young boy’s room. The two canvases are 4 feet high. The one with the robot and dinosaur is 6 feet long. I had never attempted anything like this before. I was super excited but terrified at the same time!

For inspiration I was given the words “bananas, skateboards, dinosaurs, cheeseburgers, sharks, drums, pandas, robots etc.”  I did about 8 sketches for them. Ultimately we combined a few of the ideas for the final pieces.
