Title

The work that I create is the line of demarcation between traditional art techniques and digital graphic design. From graffiti art and illustration, to vector graphics and raster images, the fusion of these contrasting elements are a direct representation of my surroundings and how I see them.

From crayons to krylon, Leon “Tes One” Bedore has been creating art on walls for the majority of his life. Tes became a serious street artist in 1992, painting murals and graffiti art throughout the Tampa Bay area. In 1999, he expanded on his natural artistic abilities, with that of the computer age, to develop compelling graphic designs for a number of clients. Now, Tes One is combining all that he knows from his street-art roots and his digital design experience, to create works of art that accurately depicts his perspective and the world around him. The end result of his work demonstrates the craft of his design as well as the rawness of his stenciled street art.


As part of the Manifest Hope exhibition in Washington, DC - “Change We Made” was created to commemorate the inauguration of our 44th president, Barack Obama.

Last May, I had the privilege of creating a custom painting dedicated to Jimi Hendrix. The good folks over at Corbis had commissioned the work for the Palais at the Cannes Lions Awards. The imagery of the painting was inspired by the amazing photography of Henry Diltz, and the final piece was put on display as a massive billboard outside of the Palais.

The painting, “Slight Return” has been donated to the Jimi Hendrix Estate, and is currently on display at MofAA.

10 of 1214MoreI have to say your designs show agreat use of line and I've beenn working on designing for four years now and I sat down and decided like 6 years ago from looking at your work that i was going to dedicate some time to it it's turrned into years of design work.
Peace brother been a minute.. You have any art shows coming up???
Your work is amazing. I used to want to do street art like the dutch graffiti artist delta, the guy who did the artwork for linkin park's meteora album. He influenced my art style, and I make robots now because my style is real technical. What influenced you to get into this career field if you don't mind me asking?
I checked out your show in San Francisco at White Walls. Your work looks GREAT man!
Peace,
Dray
