Graffiti

work above by Peste, found in Graffiti Women Street Art From Five Continents by Nicholas Ganz

These pieces are incredibly visually interesting, while still remaining legible.  The color combinations utilized in each piece above are well thought out and successful.  I like the way the artist has made her name stand out by creating drop shadows and elements in both the foreground and background of the composition.  I would be curious to see what one of her designs would look like atop a non-painted wall.  I like how she's controlled most of the elements in the design including the background surface color, but I would also like to see what her work looks like with less control.
