K - Keith Haring
Keith Haring was a graffiti artist born in Pennsylvania his work mostly involves colourful characters that are usually having fun dancing and moving around. He moved to New York in the 80's, when the life of graffiti and street art was really kicking off, and he did chalk drawings on the subway to share his art and express himself. I think his work is honestly breathtaking some of the murals he has created are so wild and bright theres so much to look at. I like how each person he has drawn is doing something different and it makes you think where would all of these things be happening at the same time its really interesting. I like how he creates the feeling of happiness through his work even though none of the people he draws have faces, this shows a lot about how good he is at making the viewer feel something. The reason I started thinking about Haring's work is because I was in a skate shop and saw a few Keith Haring skateboards in like a series, I actually liked how they were designed with a different character on each board.
