…bizarrely dishonest (years later I’ve given up attempting to collect the remaining 50% of my already way-lower-than-usual fee)...
My heart holds a soft spot for old school taggers. Behold the results of a spectacular assignment which was unfortunately conducted by a jaw droppingly unprepared (“Um. 150k 72dpi files are not print-appropriate...You have a mere 2 hours to get high-res files to me before we’re set to go on press...and what was that? You didn’t request permission from the artists nor agents to feature these??!”)...
…unusually demanding set of French-Fried clients (fellow freelancers exercise extreme caution on all levels)...
…heralding "the largest exhibition of American and European street art from 1970 to today." The exhibit commanded 25,000 square feet on two floors in Chelsea and received oodles of local as well as international press.
