FAQ:[/size]

 

Did you get permission?

Yes, not only did i ask for approval from the building owners, I'm also getting paid to do the murals. It's part of Art X Detroit taking place in Midtown from April 6th until the 10th.

 

How do you feel about your number being posted?

All threats will be taken seriously, in the meantime however, I've gotten a couple e-mails and phone calls in support of my project which is how I found out about 12 oz. prophet in the first place! Also, with a project like mine, there has to be a level of transparency. Besides my e-mail and phone number is everywhere, on my other website: cedrictai.com, we live in a world where privacy is really tricky, ever think about how traceable you are just by going onto the internet? Detroit is a small community anyways, people know who tagged the Slows To Go restaurant when that opened up, I'm taking different risks that grafitti artists don't take, the lack of anonymity.

 

 

right. sorry, not sure about that...anonymity in this case is the bigger risk.

what you're doing sounds like self-promo & marketing, which makes sense for a gallery artist. while you are getting $$ and a permitted safety net & congratulated and all for your work, these are artists who get no credit, still get out there and create in spite of the law & risk. they do it cos its in their heart, amongst other reasons...not just for their wallets.

Alright, I'll leave this thread I was just curious about the whole subculture of grafitti since so much craziness went down about 555 removing a Banksy, and then their whole operation was in peril, but it pissed me off that then the building owners tried to sue them once they realized it was worth money. C'mon you're all acting like I am a threat to good grafitti, I'm inviting good artists to make some sweet work that won't just fizzle against my razzle dazzle brixels, throw ups are just too common in Detroit. You don't think it's not a risk to be public because I make some money? You won't be doing grafitti forever, money has more to do with sustainability. I don't make art for money either, but you're absolutely right that I'm dabbling with marketing, I can't wait until some brixels show up and I'm not the one who did it.

no. not cos you make money...we all have to...its just no real big risk @ all to be a 'public' artist....isnt that the point of being a gallery/conventional artist...putting a face to ur work...think tho its your arrogance to come onto a thread like this or 'razzle dazzle' over someone peoples stuff & think youre doing something people should be in awe of/grateful to be 'invited' to join. realize the city prolly commi$$ioned you to go over and specifically cover up the work of graffiti artists, not 'collaborate', right? why didnt you just get paid to do a free wall. there are plenty around for your 'project' and concepts.

 

ok. sorry. dsd is right. im done. sigh.
