-=Ocean Themed Wooden Fence Mural=-
This was a latex and acrylic paint brush and roller painted mural painted by Nick Legend back in 2020 with some airbrush effects. This mural was painted for a wonderful gentleman and his wife Rita, and dog Jake, to transform the energy of their backyard into more of a tropical paradise than it already was. The project was done in Cooper City, Florida and posed its fair share of challenges, like overwhelming humidity, heat, and sun, spontaneous thunderstorms, mosquitos, and working on those rocks along with the breaks in the fence just to name a few, but the overall project was a success. Masterminding projects like this take a lot of planning and work, but are always well worth it in the end.
-=Sea Turtle Digital Painting Quick Process=-
This is a short clip showing the evolution of a sea turtle illustration in its various stages of construction. This is a digital image that was produced in an earlier version of Photoshop by Nick Legend on a Intous 3 wacom tablet. Let’s preserve the human interaction with the visual arts and not let something like A.I. (anti-imagination) take this away from us.
-=Snow FX Crew Special Message, Motivation, & Inspiration=-
This video clip was originally from the FX Graffiti Crew Video from back around 1998, and features the graffiti artist Snow doing work for Todd McFarlane. This video shares an important message to creatives, and shows that it is ok to believe in yourself, have a dream, and never surrender that for anything, or anyone.
-=Lobster Digital Painting Long Process=-
Here is another fairly short video clip of a lobster that was digitally painted by Nick Legend back in 2020, using Photoshop CS2 and working the image up on an Intous 3 wacom tablet. The image shows the process from sketch, to local color block in, and gradually out into the rendering. It is very enjoyable to create images this way and this is what we lose to A.I. (anti-imagination)
-=C.E.O. Crew 2013, Wynwood Miami Graffiti Prodo=-
This is a fun graffiti video from back in 2013, 39st street & North Miami Ave in Wynwood, Miami, Florida; featuring artists in order:
Dre, Legend, Smog1, and Neps of at that time, the C.E.O. crew. This show cases graffiti art in it’s natural street element, and proves in full that it is indeed an artform.
-=Imaginary Joker Acrylics & Colored Pencil_2019=-
This is an art therapy and kind of psychotic imaginary concept illustration done with acrylic paints and color pencil of the Joker character painted by Nick Legend. Whenever your going through dark, or hard times in life you can always fall back on your art to be there for you along with the gym,lol, when nobody else is there for you.
