art we love :: overunder – “nevs”

I just wish there was more of this going on. Though I love the idea of man marking his surroundings since the beginning of time, there’s something really nice to see art/tags applied to a three dimensional space. Add a twist of nature/natural elements into the mix and what you’ve got is a recipe for dopeness. Nice one NEVS!

There’s something so striking about a ‘tag’ in nature, done with natural materials.

Overunder:
“I started writing ‘Nevada’ back when I lived in Reno and shortened it to Nevs when I got to NY. Shortly after I tried to drop the traditional name graffiti and focus solely on a simple one-liner paper bird. Since moving back to the west coast I’ve been experimenting with all sorts of new materials and moving away from the paper bird icon.

“A few weeks ago I left the house with a hammer to see how that would affect my work. I ended up in some place called Pelican Point where there is a ton of collapsed and discarded wood. I took out my hammer, salvaged some nails, and repurposed the wood to spell NEVS.”
