Doodle monsters
Doodle Monster Graffiti at Leake Street Arches
Following my first graffiti jam, I built up the confidence to try a monster doodle at Leak Street Arches.
A graffiti jam involves one person starting the art work and then other artists jump in and add to it. They all keep building on each other's creativity. I was very nervous but I learned so much from the incredible artists around me and I was so grateful to Marc Craig for organising it. As well as learning from different art styles, I learned that everyone gets nervous sometimes and that's ok. With graffiti, you can just paint over something and try again or make it into something else.
Getting used to an audience
Leake Street is a very busy place underneath Waterloo station and I had to learn to get used to people stopping and taking photos.
