| original A.T.N |
Due to the street art tour, I came across a street artist called Mr. Penfold and his work was very inspirational by the bold outlines of his street art characters and the bright colours, this made his work to me, very eye catching and it stood out to all of the other street artists that we flew past the tour. taking to mind I wanted to create a street art character myself and so previously I drew an astronaut getting hit by the fencer and saying in a speech bubble "DUDE WTF?" because their both wearing white suits with big helmets on, making the fencer look stupid. so by taking that piece of art work, I wondered what if the astronaut looked like if the suit was in orange and from there I created a little drawing of it and redrew the drawing on computer and started to print and stick up around my area.
Some of my designs are based on my brothers and I, the reason why is because I love my brothers and I want them to be involved into my work, you can say they're my inspiration to make funny and wacky designs. They both think its cool, so in my eyes I've already made it.

| First of My Kind |
I call this the 'First of My Kind' because this was the first step for my in this industry and I felt that I made a mark in my area to say to the rest of the neighbourhood that there's an artist among us and I want this place to be exciting, instead of grey.

| In Action |
I decided to cover my identity by drawing over my face by making me the astronaut
 |
| Mail This |
In this design, its me and my older brother Marco when we were kids. The reason why I picked this photo of me and my brother is because we look like we're having so much fun and by adding the astronaut helmets on makes it funny because it looks like we're doing some investigation on the moon, when it's just two kids playing with the Little Tikes Cozy

| The First Climb |
Even though it wasn't that hard to climb, it was hard to keep balance with the roller and the design and you can see how I rushed it, by the air gaps.
 |
| I don't do coins, Images only. |
This was only an experiment due to finding out if that anything flat is a good thing, which was a success because it's still up there. I've had ideas to cover the unwanted phone box full with different designs or to just make a big design to wrap around it.
 |
| new designs, new day |
After getting this prints I planed throughout the week where I'm going to stick them on. Later that day I went to the areas and stuck them on.
 |
| My little Troopers |
Even by just placing the same image in a line gave me an idea to place them next to each other on the streets. I forgot all about it when I was sticking the other images up, because it's such a rush to stick them down and move on to the next. I only did two next to each other.
 |
| Going for a walk |
It was so fun working with the foot prints because it made me think about the foot prints on the moon and before placing down I had to find a grey wall or something to do with the colour grey because it had to work with the image and to just give a little smile on people's faces because it's something nice and funny to look at.
 |
| Clown Rhino |
Originally with the clown-like Rhino, which lead me to another design of a clown-like Bull and I so happen to like the clown-like Bull more than this design. this black wall is made out of man made wood because it's all compressed, which is tricky to work on at times and I feel like I have a war going on with the wall because the people that own it, somehow always rip it off as I add another harmless piece on.
 |
| Spreading the name |
I'm a good boy and I don't want anyone to get lost by not having the road name on the sign because of my design. So I place it on the other side where people are more likely to see it by walking past it.
 |
| At Work 'The Climb' |
As again, this is me at work and on another sign. Its pretty high up, but easy to climb. It was fun doing because for this one when your further away you can still see it, as of the image below.

| stood out 'Original A.T.N' |
 |
| Seeing Double |
Even though the original images have been torn off a little bit, I will either gather up the same image and paste all over it or I will make a funny image of the astronaut shouting out "why?!" next to it.
 |
| At Work 'Just Keep Rolling' |
I had to edit the photo by using an app for instagram on the iPad (add me on Instagram atnart), which is always going to be the same but in a different angle. I personally like this edited version other than the original photo because it just makes it look more cool and interesting.
From this photo I've created a connection about the resemblance on how this pot includes landscape, as well does mine, due to the theme of the Balham Bombing in WW1. My pot is still in progress and from what I saw from the firing, it looks great and I can't wait till I finish it.
