Burberrys of London V Street Art




I got this jacket from a car boot. I have been wearing this jacket just for a few days and the number of people think I look very smart when I have gone round with it on and the number of people who have been shocked I have been drawing on a Burberrys of London as they think I have paid for it at the full price.
This jacket just cost me a £5 now I have turned it into a walking art work, I think of my drawing on cloth as :
"Street Art"
I think of "Street Art" as the man in the street has control over what they wear on their back and not the designer labels company. Why should a man in a office say what I should wear?
By doing the drawing on to the cloth they be come 'one off' that cannot be repeated on mass as I sign my drawing with pw105. signing your name does not work but put pw105 it work with
the image.
I hope I do start a craze and go bask to people changing the the cloths. when I was 17 years old I could an M&S a jumper at 20 feet. I would not have like Gap etc I like to go round the little shops and Bentalls as they used to a small design range of cloths and they were very good and lastest for years.

Questions about the books I use and why?

When I was study my A level Fine Art my teacher said you will 100's of books that show you the end results, you want to find the the book that show you the start of the idea and whole process. I found this most useful and over the years.
I have got a lot of books over the years they are full of information and because of the books I had I never did have to use the University library. I got a good degree, so I happy with my own library.
I got Nightmare Before Christmas by Frank Thopson. From the Forbidden Planet today I also like to to buy Journal when artist are talking about their art work and how they plan to move their art forward. The Comics Journal No. 299 Aug 2009.
I like street art so I got Vna .
