As a sidewalk chalk artist transitioning into mural work, “art is temporary “ is spot on. Street art absolutely should change as those who activate those streets change. That’s on the real. Great piece of advice. Peace!
It’s definitely something that is on my mind al the time when I see public art
Chalk art is dope real creativity
@@binkdawg9436 it is! And for me, it is rewarding to occasionally surprise people when they notice art underneath them.
Hey! I’m also a sidewalk chalk artist transitioning into murals!! I hope you’ve figured it out!
@@larue_edits7638 hi LaRue! Yeah, it’s been circuitous. Chalk art to painting banners of different materials to (now) scheduling mural work around the neighborhood. Two to three at material cost only to get out and practice on different surfaces and locations and capture for self-promotion.
Muralists like Detour have helpful videos to put some of this into perspective and at least figure out the questions I need to ask. Incidentally, my man Detour has a book that I’ve been reading on being and developing an art career.
Love the way you see your art as a conversation with the people around the area. Thanks for posting. Great stuff!!
Glad you enjoy it!
I have two herniated discs, this video made question going this direction. Thank you.
Brilliant. Down to earth… kudos to you … working in Denver weather must be intense. Thank goodness our.
This video helped me TREMENDOUSLY for my first entire room murals I’m going to start tomorrow. Thank you so much!!!!!
Thanks for all the tips! You are an amazing artist! I love your work ❤😊
The art work being in the street, it being dissed, communities changing and how an artist handles it best moving forward was all very well explained.
Bless up! There's a lot of these nuances that artists should know about that space int he art world.

Wonderful! Glad it was helpful!!!
You’re the only CZcams personality that barely (if any) get 0 "dislikes". That’s accredited to the information given. Thank you🙏🏾
I appreciate that!
I so appreciate your content. Talk about a resource! And you sharing your honest, tell-it-like-is perspective. As someone who just landed their first commissioned mural, I've definitely noticed the body aches. (Lots of stretch breaks needed.) It's also so refreshing to come across an artist who encourages other artists to start conversations via their own work. I've sort of unfortunately come across a great deal of highly competitive professionals. Which, I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with the wanting to do memorable work part of it... Just the scarcity mentality doesn't jive with me. We need more diverse art and artists not a select few.
Glad this is helping you out and you enjoy the tips and advice🙌🙌🙌
I got a question let’s say I wanted to setup shop on a sidewalk in the street on one of the islands and brought a big canvas to finish as free advertising do I need some sort of permit or anything? I’m just waiting for warmer weather to do this any feedback would be much appreciated!
You would definitely need to take a look at your city and neighborhood ordinances. Every city is different so it will vary
@@iamdetour ahhh gotcha well thank you !
Do not use spray paint to do my murals because I use wet paint just so I don't breathe in the fuse because I don't have enough money for a gas mask
I use both.
You could also add... Gangs, who can either be really cool and suportive, or total assholes. People stoping to give you their opinion of what you are painting, and tell you what you should be painting and how to paint it (cool or assholes). Cars honking constantly, and/or throwing stuff at you, usually not cool stuff. Again, people wanting to talk to you, and tell you their life story and how the nephew of the neighbor of the guy that sells pot to their grandma for the arthritis also paints, or they want to know yours and ask questions, usually starting with the "meaning" of the mural, how long have you been painting, and why don't you get a real job (again, cool or assholes)...and all of this is nice and sometimes fun, but when you are on a deadline, working by the light of day, trying to solve a massive fuck up that you or most likely your straight out of art college super cute assistant who has all the answers to none of the questions, just made... anyway, it is a hard, unique, and beautiful lifestyle, not fit for everyone... Thank you for all your videos, really informative and useful, wish they, along with youtube, existed when i was starting out (30+ yrs ago)... Take care, Be well, Cheers! :)
