ZTEPHYR Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Does anyone have any good advice on how to ask for permission to paint on someone's building? I've never actually asked before painting, but this time is different. I have an idea for a cool site specific piece and thelady that runs the corner store is so sweet, I don't want to upset her. So, any tips on how to breach the topic of street art with people who usually view it as vandalism? Ways that I can approach her so that she she sees the artistry in my ideas? We barely speak the same language, so I'm already a little worried about communicating my request to her in the right way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 "Missus Sandwich Lady, have you ever considered having a nice, colouful mural painted on your wall? I've always thought it would look really nice and might even attract people to the shop. Yeah, I have a few ideas, I'll pop by next week with some sketches and pics to help you picture what it might look like....." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed_Eastwood Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 "im not a toy, ive been painting for a few years" this is when people are actually the MOST toy because they think they are not. ask for forgiveness, not permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joser1 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 the easy way to do this is to get know her and write up a document saying that ur going to paint the wall and what ur putting on the wall and tell her that you will take care of the wall just give you a chance and keep it non evil the first time and bust that shit.....josa1 ftg crew ft worth tx cause thats what i did.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Well, you shouldn't be asking someone if you can paint on their shit in the first place. Kind of reverse graffiti? No? Haha. The best way of going about it in my opinion is if you present her some of your sketches or best pieces you've done, or even better outline on paper what you want to do on the store. Good luck sounds like fun though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I've been laughing at this section since I started posting on 12oz. Some of the best laughs had on this site are the unintentional jokes made by the yard posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Pretty much what makes me sit in those long traffic jams on the way to Oontz headquarters every morning is the outside chance of a new thread in the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
