Continuing graffiti week with David Pham who is an incredible artist/designer out of Brooklyn. His style on the streets and on a canvas are remarkable. He has a uniques style of drawing characters and he feeds off in his graffiti and canvas paintings. He is definetly one of my favorite artist I’ve seen in recent years.

Heres some work and bio:

A little about me…
I was born in 1977 in Philadelphia, the son of recent immigrants from Vietnam. My parents, seeking opportunity and prosperity, made their way west to California when I was five, eventually settling down in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Raised and schooled in the suburbs, naturally I was greatly taken aback by my first encounters with the city. I remember well my visits to San Francisco as a child, mesmerized by the towering skyline, and struck particularly with the sites of spray-painted figures peeking from alleys and glimpsed high on the sides of buildings and on billboards. Attracted at once to the bright signification of graffiti set down and proclaiming itself upon the industrial background of the city, I began experimenting with graffiti of my own; first mimicking those I idolized, and soon devoting much of my time through my adolescence to the progression of my own style and technique.

After High School I moved to the city and studied at the Academy of Art College, where I received formal training, pushing my work to new levels of depth and formal sophistication, and landing me commission work. I find it a difficult and perhaps unproductive task to classify my work within any movement or aesthetic category. My materials range from aerosol to oils, from canvasses of all sizes to found materials and exteriors of buildings, and subject matter from straight up graffiti writing, through portraiture to allegorical narrative sequences. My paintings are the product of creative mistakes and I enjoy the improvising contained in my work. My background and family history will continue to be a prominent influence in my work as long as I am painting, it is to them that I owe my talent and exposure to art.

Recently, I began a series on found material whose subjects are figures of satire, and from whose situations I hope to derive symbolism and social commentary.
I currently reside in Brroklyn, New York and work as a freelance designer as well as selling my art on the streets of Brooklyn…
