==================== ====================

==================== ====================
We proudly present for you today,
our submission to the graffiti contest:
======
Art Facts:
3D-Artist: Horizon (Real Life graffiti spraying experience in the 80s)
Spray-Artist: 3D Doll created by Horizon our precious Hanami
Background: Subway from NYC from the 80's
Probs used: Daz3D Wall & Boombox
Graffiti Tags: All graffiti tags are added by Horizon using a plane in Daz3D. Those tags are known tags to give the wall a more realistic 80s& early 90s feel.
Graffiti Art work: The graffiti art work is a created font by horizion via the curves tool and brushes in Affinity Photo. This method was used to get as close as possible to the real feel of designing and creating real life graffities.
Dedication: Beastie Boys (In the 80s & early 90s where Horizon was active with spraying graffities, it was mainly the Beastie Boys that been played on the boom box while painting the streets. As soon 1992 the album "Check Your Head" was released, that album would not leave the boom box.)
Inspiration for the Graffiti: Toxic from NYC (The way Toxic works the font style: Layering & Distorting)

Horizon-TV Interview:
====== Interview with Hanami & Horizon by Godiva
Godiva (Moderator): Welcome to Horizon TV Hanami & Horizon and all who are watching today
Horizon (3D-Artist): Well thank you a lot Godiva I am happy to be here today
Hanami (3D-Doll & Graffiti Artist): Hello all of you. I hope you do not mind I came with skates today.
Godiva (Moderator): Oh your fine Hanami I love it! 80's 90's hurray.
So we invited you both to the show for a very specific reason.
You both created some very wonderful graffiti art that we can see also on the screen here.
So you Hanami did the spraying and posing for Horizons 3D art work who created you and the graffiti render scene in Daz3d.
What made you choose to time jump back into the 80s and 90s for this theme and competition?
Horizon (3D-Artist): Well when the competition was announced I was a bit smiling. As it was giving me memory flashes from the time I was active spraying graffities in the 80s and 90s. Mostly in the time where the music from the Beastie Boys was the best you could find actually. So I choose this style, theme and time kinda like a flash back. Also to remember a time where art was made by hands more then by bits and bytes
Hanami (3D-Doll & Graffiti Artist): Yes she made me wear all this 80s stuff. lol no no I love it but see here I am with skates in the tv studio lol.
Godiva (Moderator): lol I am happy you came like this. You are a bit art yourself you know. *giggles*
Horizon you mentioned to me that you are inspired by Toxic for this art work? Why Toxic and what is special about him?
Horizon (3D-Artist): Well Toxic a wonderful person actually his real name is Torrick Ablack. He was born in the Bronx as I remember 1965.
When he was 13 he started spraying which I find kinda cool. As he had real street experience and then later on commercial invited to Hollywood to work his artworks there. His tags became kinda famous and I always loved how he layered the fonts he created. His shadow work for the time had a strong impact on me how I did my graffities. Very colourful and juicy looking tags and graffities you can find of him all over NYC.
Godiva (Moderator): Tell me Horizon how is the feeling not having real cans in your hand but only a mouse and keyboard?
Horizon (3D-Artist): In all honesty. Very very strange. The feeling of having real bottles in your hands that you shake before you spray your aerosol on the walls and the smell that comes with it. It's a different world. When you create such art work on the real streets you become part of that piece you create. It's part of you. Which is also why it always hurt, when someone would clean or paint on top of your works. It was a funny pride thing to see your work and tags all over the city. Now here in 3D I do not smell the paint, I do not shake bottles to mix the paint with the propellant (the liquified gas), I do not feel the cold windy weather around me, I do not have my gang with me sitting close by listen to Beastie Boys and being all funny and stuff while doing the spraying. So yes very different.
Godiva (Moderator): Now which was your favourite brand for spraying graffities?
Horizon (3D-Artist): Actually the entire line of Molotow to be honest. I mean my favs been the once without mixing balls released in 1997. Can's that have a beautiful dynamic, fast color application, an optimal valve and pressure adjustment. And yes I admit I started with Krylon's but that was only a big pain in the butt.
Godiva (Moderator): Why Beastie Boys? There are so many bands in that time even in the funk and hip hop scene!?
Horizon (3D-Artist): That is hard for me to say why we would hear Beastie Boys 98% of all the time. We sometimes had also some guys around that loved Henry Rollins stuff and all the Hardcore Rock&Punk. But that was not my thing really. My favourite all time album always was and will be: "Check your head".
We would often go to the club at nights and if one of those song would play, I would be on the dancefloor inside seconds.
Godiva (Moderator): Hanami do I see this correctly that there is real paint coming out of your 3D spray can?
Hanami (3D-Doll & Graffiti Artist): Hahahahaha yesssssss and no lol. There is real spray coming out of that bottle yes. Horizon created that spray effect with a blur on a coloured primitive cone, picking the color I am aiming at on the art works. I never thought someone could see that? I told her: Why why why its so much time. Details no one can see. pff lol
Horizon (3D-Artist): Hey now its important. When you spray, there is paint and it should be seen. Yes I wanted details to be fitting. Which is why I had to add this boom box. That was a important add on lol. World without music is a no no.
Godiva (Moderator): One last question! What are your favourite spots to spray Horizon?
Horizon (3D-Artist): Well that is not easy to say. For the comfort it was the bridges not with train tracks next by lol. Spots where you can paint without getting chased away lol. But for the thrill and pride it was the most dangerous spots. Like walls and bridges close to train tracks where everyone would see your tags (I never painted on trains. That was to dangerous for me). But when we got asked to spray on official walls or objects that always felt good being recognized.
Godiva (Moderator): Thank you very much for the wonderful interview and talk with you Horizon and Hanami. And also thank you for all of you watching. See you next time
Hanami & Horizon: *waves and smiles*
