596. Upfest 2016 (90)

I really like this beautifully designed piece of work from Mike Powis. The colours work well and there is something really pleasing about the subject – to me at least. It doesn’t come as a surprise that Powis is an illustrator and graphic designer, and this comes across loud and clear in this work.

I couldn’t find out much about him, but his Upfest biography (autobiography) reads: ‘Illustrator, graphic designer, hunter gatherer, gas mask vandal, excessive coffee drinker, mural creator, brush pen ninja, workshop director, marker mass murderer, terrible short story writer…’  That probably sums it up.

    1. could be, and there are some similarities with Face F1st, although I doubt the to have met or are even aware of each other. One thing I am learning is how little street artists seem to know about other street artists.
