Art. : Herakut!

I have just made a new discovery that I MUST share! Now, through the years of my art education I've been made aware of the rise in graffiti art popularity, but up until a few months ago never paid it much attention... I don't get overly ecstatic for bubble letters written on a wall. I came across Herakut while cruising for art ideas... or shopping... I can never keep track of my constant mouse clicking. They are a stellar man (Akut) and woman (Hera) duo of creative ingenuity.

As many of you have figured out by now, my art tends to lean towards the abstract portraiture category with a bit of spicy randomness thrown in. While my images remain unique in their own right, I am constantly comparing what I do with my art to what other are doing and secretly wishing I had their style. Alas, that will never be, almost like my desire to wear crayon colored skinny jeans with ballet flats - that trend ain't never happenin' with THIS booty yo. Oddly enough though, there are similarities in figure interpretation between their stuff and mine... but then again, I could just be drawing strings where there are none... :-)

ANYWAY... the thing I like about these Herakut cats is their figure interpretation and their... straaaaange imagination. The way they attack a gallery space is phenom and not only that, a lot of their work is on buildings. Sometimes HUUUGE BUILDINGS! To have that kind of transition in an art setting is wonderful. It's.... Simply. Fabulous! I mean, check these images out!
