One of the legends of the art world and a constant social activist that says through art what many people don’t dare to think. Banksy’s boldness and mysteriousness have been the characteristics that have brought his art to popularity, becoming one of the pioneers on the popularization of modern street art, thanks to all the polemic that their artworks causes, the acceptance and encouragement towards street art has grown increasingly in the last decade. 

Their mystery identity has played an important role on the way Banksy’s art spread all over the world, as well as it has allowed him to do art that would be considered illegal  as a way to protest on some different social issues.

I find very interesting the way the Michael Wiehart combines filming animation with graphic design and typography. Is impressive how he started in this industry when there was no computers but as time went by he was able to figure out and advance his knowledge on the software that have allowed him to create  digital projects just the way he wants it. 

I like how he refers to this industry as a group since it is very beneficial for a creative process to have artists that specialize in different fields in order to produce better and more versatile designs.

Jen was born at night in 1995’s first day of spring, tattoos mean confidence to her, and getting this tattoo was proof of it. Jenn represented herself and her culture in a tattoo that defied her confidence, having to re-do it 3 times. Thanks to this experience Jenn feels more comfortable in her skin and the tattoo process gave it a stronger sentimental value for her.
