Anyone know of how I can contact a graffiti artist in in the Philadelphia area? They don't even need a portfolio, per se. I'm tempted to contact the local police department to help me locate someone, actually...
But I want to find out how much it would cost to have a concrete block wall in our office done up in some authentic graffiti. I'm not talking carefully painted murals here, but real spray can type art.
Any ideas?

Follow the rules bob.

Nah bob asking for a graffiti artist in the art forum is like the president spelling potato potatoe. Just try to ignore it.
I know some people in Philly. I'll ask around for you and try to get some samples, if you want.

Why you little....!
Seriously, though. What's wrong with *requesting* graffiti? I don't want one for criminal purposes, there is a legitimate one-time gig here for someone.

And not a bad idea, but after looking through page after page of shots I grew tired of searching for a *Philly*-based artist. :/
I'll post in there and hopefully someone will know someone.

Just joking :p requests are against the rules of the art forum, and you have to start a thread with your own original art, but what I was saying is it's not a big deal...since you're staff! just like bush supporters look the other way when he's a 5th grader.
did that sound worse? haha

Well that's dumb. What's the point of having a resource for artists if it can't be used to hire one?! :(

Because then you've got hundreds of "Make art for me because I'm too lazy" threads.
You will bow to me!

Well I'm not asking for someone to "make me art". I'm asking if anyone knows a true graffiti artist. And if this thread gets a few, or hell even a dozen ACTUAL, AUTHENTIC job offerings turning this partly into a classified section for artists for hire, then I don't see that it'd be the end of the world.
I'd argue that'd be a far cry from "OMG PLZ DRAW ME SUMPIN THAT WOULD ROXORZ!"

Lol, nothing dumb in using the search bar and finding a graffiti thread either.
Anyways, this specific part of the forum is meant for show case. Similar to deviant art. at least until certain features are finalized. If we allowed people to make requests, we would have 5 pages of people are making requests, and offering money for work they have no intention on paying, which has happened quite a few times...

Could you to make a NEWS post? You would probably get alot more helpful responses that way and it would attract alot more people.

REALITIY, IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST-REALITY
Although the site is pretty much down right now, theres a good chance you could find someone over here on the forums when (and if) it comes back up.

Seems to be an Australian site. What part of LOCAL don't people get?
Same thing goes for the Graffiti Crew. They seem to all be on the other side of the world, too. :(
I tried googling but it didn't find anything
Drop it off at some rail lines and pick it up a week later. Itll be covered
non-contribution:
I know one philly based writer, but I think he only does tags and throws, no pieces. And I don't have his contact info anymore. Yeah, not helping, am I?
Did you just browse through the graffiti crew, or ask if there were any Philly based ones?

I'm pretty sure it's just a stupid alt making a topic btw...

You think bob's an alt?

How to tell if it is a mod or an alt:
1: There is a motherfucking kickass picture under their name
2: Other mods talk to them, as if they were that certain mod
3: They have proper grammer
4: They speak with a condencending (?) tone to retards like you, person who thinks bob is an alt.
Based off this, Id say there is a good chance that bob is the real bob and not fake bob. And this isnt some star trek inspired anti bob either.
On topic: How local do you want the artist? Like right where you live or just in this country, cause I know a fantastic artist, he is an anime artist, but He learns new styles of art as if it were basic addition, that easy.
Its time to play games and jerk off. And Im all out of quarters.
If I lived in Philly, I would do it for free.

I work for a company called environmental graphics and we could make a spray paint type wall mural for a small fee depending on the size
