Dunkin Doughnuts trying to cash in with graffiti

[bitchthatcaghtmyeye]

The Mission Fresh graffiti project is the latest fresh idea inspired by America’s favorite coffee. Four street artists had 72 hours (and an endless supply of Dunkin’ coffee) to paint the largest graffiti art mural ever hung in Times Square, New York City. Visit missionfresh to see the art, watch project videos and paint your own Dunkin’ coffee cup mural.

 

seriously they paid some herbs thousands of dollars to make some doo doo shit to go up in times square.

jealous that I didn't get the job? thats a stupid question, I posted it more to discuss about how only 1 out of these 4 "graffiti artists" actually even claims to paint. One dude is a production designer, another one is just a fine artist and one is a sticker fag.

 

I just think there are times where companies try to squeeze some youthful appeal out of graffiti and the difference is very clear when good respected, writers who have transcended into the commercial art world (SP, Mare, Twist, Espo etc.) work on projects like this in contrast to people that use "graffiti art" as a stepping stone or a shortcut into the spotlight of the art world. The quality reflects it very much, at least in my opinion.

[TeenagerFromMars]

their coffee already sucks, so i doubt they will produce anything worth while

[visual_ransom]

any artists that have anything to do with corporations can lick my swampy balls.

 

i lost a lot of respect for SFairey when i saw a picture of him DJ'ing.

not that he had much respect from me in the first place.

 

and i wouldn't be surprised of DD was targeting writers in this ad. PROsers

[podrido]

what all of you need to remember is,

its not what everyone else thinks about you man.

 

its about how you see yourself.

 

 

and if your happy painting giant cups of coffee and not actually being a writer and getting bread for it

 

 

then by all means homie

paint coffee

go nuts.

If they were drinking all of that DD coffee, they probably spent most of those 72 hours on the toilet.

[~KRYLON2~]

dd coffee makes me pee alot, and they used have a waffle sandwich thing that was awsome.

 

 

[JA3R]

[blest007]

[RUSO]

there coffee (I've never had it) has to suck, the fact that only one of them writes does not surprise me.

Taz and frustrate do badass work no doubt, and even though their legal artists, they have put alot of hard work into their paintings over the last 20 years. Are they graffiti writers? No.

 

I used to paint off and on in the 90s, however i have been doing tattoo layouts, t shirt designs, and just barely got back into painting again, been painting non legal shit also. Am i a graffiti writer? No.

 

Heres the thing people dont understand.

 

You get into a hobby that grows on you, eventually becomes part of your life, and for some becomes a daily routine. You have kids, get a house, maybe land a cool career down the line, and when you start doing legal shit, people hate on you.

 

If I love something so much but have a life ahead of me going on the straight and narrow, why the fuck am i gonna ruin that shit to get respect from people who dont give a fuck about me or my family? People i dont give a fuck about. And bomb freights or my city every day, Just so some 17 year old toy can say "OOOh damn that fools killin it"

 

These days you have to do both, GET PAID as well as KEEP IT REAL with graffiti. Put in as much work as you can on the street but be smart about it. Im almost 35 years old. As long as i do a little graff here and there, im showing respect to the game, but at the same time making money as a side hustle.

 

If someone wanted me to paint a 300 foot tall, bag of Ruffles on a building, said they would pay me 10 gees and pay for paint. Am i gonna sit there and think about it. No, im gonna get paid.

 

BBOYS make money doing street shows, and broadway type shit. DJ's travel the world making money at clubs and doing shows, We all know how many MC's came up off the street to get paid, so its no different in our element.

 

If you work a 9 to 5 at mcdonalds, but can burn a canvas in 3 hours that might go for 4-800, what are you gonna do.

They were put into a project that used their talent for mainstream society, whats "wrong" with depends on society itself which dictates what it likes. Now if they have talent, to bash them as being fake or watever is pointless since they are "getting up" and thats the point of "bombing" i've never seen these dudes, now their seen. The whole ad was kinda bogus as far as rep. graff. but it's an ad that works. The box was cool, for doughnuts.

[KILZ FILLZ]

"tupac" :haha:

Oh man I was all over this Dunkin Donuts-sponsored street art three years ago...

 

I'm lactose-intolerant and last time I had Dunkin' Donuts I shit my pants in the streets of Orlando. Left my hip huggers on the corner of Orange and Church. THAT'S ART.
