Phlegm Research.

Phlegm is a 28 year old street artist from Sheffield, UK. He is primarily a cartoonist and illustrator who has an addiction to self publishing and underground work. All of his comic work is with black indian ink and a dip pen. He only uses colour when painting walls (or planes) or screen painting. With a strange relation to graffiti, having a style thats grown entirely from his self published comics rather than letter styles. His comic has now been around for four years and comes out every four months or so.

Here are two pieces of his street art, i really like these pieces as i think they are very distinctive and have a lot of detail and characteristics, i love the way he finds a place to create artwork and he will just create something to fit the space. I've noticed in both these pieces the creatures look sad, i'm not sure if this is just in these two pieces or if he has a theme throughout his entire work. The images are in black and white, i think this makes them look a lot more effective, where as if they were to be coloured in they would look a lot more cartoon styled and like some teenager had just graffitied a wall.
