Dan Kitchener 🇺🇸 Street Artist • Art Prints For Sale

[Agent Provocateur]

wow, great piece, love the dark mood... and the colouring is fantastic! Are you going to do a large stencil of it, or is it just going to be a screen print? Either way, stunning.

[Agent Provocateur]

ahhh, just been looking at it again... are those red lines behind the figure meant to be serious sparks? That's what I'm seeing, a real furnace heat with sparks moving very fast... imo

[Fake]

that piece is seriusly fucking amazing! great job!

[Dan Kitchener]

yep they are meant to furnace type sparks, hitting his back....or maybe sparks from some sort of machinery grinding metal on metal!!



It's a concept sketch at the moment for a canvas/stencil piece, I haven't decided quite what scale I am going to do this, I may even just do spray/markers..........or maybe a wall piece!! decisions decisions!

[Dan Kitchener]

Forgot to add, will probably be a print too!

[LEVI C]

exellent! really imaginative stuff i really like it. The characters give me a similar feeling to the robots of Bristol artist Mr Jago, but brilliantly different!! I wondered whether you had seen his stuff?
anyway good shit man, looking forward to seeing more!

[Dan Kitchener]

I know Mr.Jago's stuff, not seen a huge amount of it, but familiar from seeing him in last Modart mag and his excellent solo at Stolen Space. I think his stuff is more expressionistic, using gestural lines and marks to suggest the form and movement, I prefer to use more defined lines and shapes to create a more graphic feel, almost cartoon/graphic novel like, no doubt inspired by addiction to 200AD as a kid!

Hi guys

Continuing on from my last thread, here's another concept sketch for my new series, again considering a print of this (if people are interested of course) and maybe turning into a large wall piece or canvas.

Hope y'awl like it!

cheers

Love the neon blue highlights, nice contrasting bits of detail.

N.B. Is it a PS tool to make them glow like that? I use PS a lot for uni presentations and have been trying to do something like that for ages, could you give me some advice??

[Dan Kitchener]

Hey bmjt, well it is done in Pshop yes, it's layer modes/ screen and overlay are best and use the airbrush on low opacity and build up the diffuse effect that you can get from spray cans, subtle changes of pressure using a graphic tablet can give the light effects, Pshop is marvelous aint it!!!

Hope that helped mate.

[bmjt]

Ledge, cheers pal, i'll fire up PS and give it a go.

[stickee]

[Dan Kitchener]

Think that's done it, hadn't uploaded fully!?

[Dellboyy]

I like the neon effect too btw, looking forward to seeing how it would turn out on canvas!

[Dan Kitchener]

Hi guys,

Well issue 5 of the superb Gravity Guide, the local music and lifestyle guide for south and east London is out next week. I illustrated the cover and have some of my paintings/stencils inside the mag, so well worth checking out and it's FREE!!!. The illustration was a sketch from my sketch book, coloured/inked in Pshop, so not urban art/graff I know, but thought I'd share anyway!! Hope you like it. Grab a copy if you see it.

cheers

Here's the cover



and the original illustration

Some nice work there Dan, cleaner Hewlett styles, any other info on your work?

[Dan Kitchener]

Thanks Weaver, I do try and vary my styles, although this is my 'raw' drawing style that most of my illustrations adopt!

My portfolio is at www.dankitchener.co.uk

cheers

[GVD]

Wow nice! very cool cyberpunk style

[philsc]

Nice. Is this what you will be working on in Bristol?

[philsc]

This is cool. I like luminescence of the blue in the background. Will have to try to grab a free copy.

[Dan Kitchener]

thanks, now that would be telling!

[crazyarsemother]

Dan, keep it up. Between you me its all getting very predictable on here. Your stuff sings out.

[crazyarsemother]

Looks cool. What package do you use Dan?

[Dan Kitchener]

thanks, well it's sketches first using pencil/fine line pens then scanned and fully inked and coloured in good old Photoshop!

[Sliding on the Walls]

That's great DanK... Doy ou do art for graphic novels for a living?

[Dan Kitchener]

[Dan Kitchener]
