About GreenGraffiti-Drew Brophy Keen Project and the Process of Reverse Graffiti:<\/h2>\n

In the summer of 2013, Drew Brophy and GreenGraffiti, on behalf of Keen Europe<\/a>, executed the world\u2019s first and largest *reverse graffiti sidewalk mural <\/a>at the Hamburg Globetrotter in Germany.\u00a0 It was a huge success which resulted in a strong increase in sales for Keen Europe and Globetrotter.\u00a0 The mural was over 100 meters square. \u00a0(See Video of project at bottom of post)<\/p>\n

This year they decided to work with Drew live<\/strong>!\u00a0 Similar idea but this time the art and interpretation of Keen’s philosophy of #FollowYourFeet will be applied freehand. It will be the world\u2019s largest freehand template sidewalk mural.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Process<\/strong>:\u00a0 Drew designs and draws the artwork for the templates and overall design.\u00a0 GreenGraffiti takes the designs and cuts giant templates (stencils) out of steel and recycled materials.\u00a0 Together they will freehand the design on location, using giant \u201cairbrush\u201d power washers, working with the dirt on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Only a handful of illustrators in the world know these techniques<\/strong> of creating, designing and executing the art for such a project.\u00a0 Drew is one of the few artists who has mastered this technique and process.<\/p>\n

Once applied, the design stays for about 4 weeks, then GreenGraffiti goes out and clears it, leaving a shiny, clean sidewalk for the community to enjoy!<\/p>\n

In the words of Jim Bowes of GreenGraffiti, \u201cDirty public space is a valuable public asset<\/em>\u201d !<\/p>\n

*REVERSE GRAFFITI is also\u00a0known as clean tagging, dust tagging, grime writing. \u00a0GreenGraffiti\u00a0or “clean advertising” is a method of creating temporary or semi-permanent images on walls or other surfaces by removing dirt from a surface using giant power washers and stencils.<\/em><\/p>\n
