I've known of Barry Mcgee's work for about two years now. I was drawn to his style of work when i first came across it. Although not till this year that I've noticed his work had influenced me exponentially as I've watch my work evolve more to resembling his style of work. Barry Mcgee rose out of the graffiti boom in the San Francisco Bay area in the early nineties. His work draws heavily from what he calls the urban experience/everyday live frustrations. -(Which I like to base my work on.) In doing this he creates bizarre faces which dominate abstract background with drips and odd patterns. To me his images are very iconic they stand out then most other artists work this is what I one hope my artwork to be viewed as.
