its cool and all, but its not graff.
its some dude airbrushing on a photo on a canvas, its art not graff. dudes a dope artist, but i think his graff is wack, besides theyre all legal walls anyway. good on you for trying something new, and its cool and all but dont call it graff.
bojangles is right, this is scene hopping hipster shit for kids who want to write graff but are too scared. whats next canvas's of subway cars and freight trains so you dont have to risk anything? graff is an illegal act not a gallery attraction.
good on writers like seen and arek and shit that go and do gallery shit, but those guys also put in alot of work for alot of years on the streets and rails. some guy whos claim to fame is his father painting in mexico 40 years ago and the only flicks ive seen are legal walls? prolly fucking not
bader put his time in on the street, not doing only legal walls. he isnt 'scared'. he hasnt done much illegal graf the last couple of years, since he is now an established tattoo artist in NYC.

i dunno why everyones hatin so hard on this stuff, i think its pretty damn cool. Theres plenty of shut that dilutes the graff scene, but i dont think this is one of thoes things, plenty of artists cross over into gallerys and create canvases and sell them, why is this any different?
thank you. i agree 100%.

for what its worth, here are a couple more of the original grafantasy pieces on canvas

nothing is photoshopped. nothing was done on a computer. the first images i posted are from the grafantasy series i did with him, he airbrush painted directly onto the canvas photos.
the second batch of images i posted are walls he has hit in NYC and cancun, all done with a spraycan.
he is a writer, i am a photographer with an idea. i have no intention of affecting the graf scene in a negative aspect.

i'm shocked. bader has got mad respect in brooklyn where he has been painting for over 10 years. he grew up in mexico, where his father, Mosh, was one of the first to bring graffii there in the 70's.
to each his own i guess, you all are entitled to your opinions.

i beg to differ. during our one month gallery show, we sold 6 of the 7 originals. they were priced at $400. the print version of the first image is $40, an edition of 30, and are more than half-way sold out.

seriously? he's got insane talent.
why the harsh words?

this kid definitely got talent and going to make it big one day.. just not in the graff game.
hell yes he is. deuce is a friend of mine, his first solo NYC show is coming up on may 15th in brooklyn.

i came up with the idea a few months ago, and it turned into a one month gallery show at upperplayground/zerofriends NYC from feb 13th to mar 13th.
the best buildings in nyc, graf writers can never hit, like the empire state building, madison square garden. i had my photos printed up 28" x 40" on canvas, then Bader airbrushed and spraypainted on them. we sold 6 of the 7 originals at the gallery show, and now i have prints available of one of the images. full info, pics, and ordering information for the print is on http://www.GRAFantasy.com
let me hear your feedback
