Wane
Children of Destruction 1980s
Wane, Michelob, Wen, Latin, Face, Wips, and some others made up The Children of Destruction; a group of graffiti artists in New York City. I like this one especially because of the depth it has. The yellow background behind the colors makes them almost three dimensional. The way the outline around the words is blue on the top and red on the bottom gives it the feeling of a shadow underneath.
The Dancer's Reward
Aubry Beardsley 1893
Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau
Aubry Beardsley was one of the most controversial artists of the Art Nouveau movement because of his many pieces of erotic art. He used black ink, and his work is clearly influenced by the Japanese culture. I like The Dancer's Reward because of the texture. The blood, hair, and the gown all seem to have very different textures even though this is done using only one color.
