new PREFAB77

A while ago I did some activities and saw some things, and now i'm going to record my findings. Sorry about the inconsistencies herein, but let us imagine the experience of randomly finding pages of simplicity among the rubble and ruin of our complex society, ish.
So, on the, 19th of January, at 18:30 approx. Myself and Erin ventured into the warm, buzzing basement of a building the name of which escapes me. The warm air hit me with a sweet mixture of spray paint and bottled beer and my eye drew me to a darkness beyond the rough brick walls in one corner. After sleight deliberation I had my camera at my head, staring down its beam at beautifully stripped and piercing artworks, like so:

Evocative in a political sense as well as being almost intimidating these complex images are liberally painted with the reflective substance that gives road signs that wonderful glow. Almost ironically, as with those paintings who's eyes follow you around the room, holding the light above my head would have barely any effect on the room itself, but an image in the distance would flare up menacingly as it caught my eye (or vice versa).
Oh! that was PREFAB77's new stuff by the way, sorry I forgot to include that bit.

This was a treat to draw, and my lettering is improving, good stuff.
