“Fall” Did you know that I create mixed media work from my photography? Although this work is way off from the season we’re experiencing, or about to experience, it’s one of my favorite pieces and has been sitting in storage for a while. It was originally shot in 2012 or 2013 (the info is on the back and it’s 2am and not getting out of bed to look) and features @stjosephoratory, founded in 1873. I also do commission work, and can even incorporate text (favorite quotes, poems, etc.) to really personalize my images as a special gift. I keep meaning to dedicate a page on my website just for this work and haven’t figured out exactly how to do it yet. I have something fun coming up, especially for those on my email list, so if you’re not on it, you can register via my website (link in bio). Wishing everyone a happy Thursday! ~ Christina ••••••••••••• 📸🎨x Christina / @picturedetroit • • • • • #PictureDetroit #DequindreCut #StJosephOratory#Fel3000ft @Fel3000ft #OpportunityDetroit @HourDetroit #HourDetroit @BuildInstitute #CrainsDetroit #ThrowbackThursday#MidMichiganNow #DetroitUSA#PureDetroit313#RawDetroit#DocumentingDetroit#WXYZDetroit #MotorCity #DowntownDetroit #NothingStopsDetroit #DocumentingDetroit @puremichigan #MichiganPhotography #VisitDetroit @visitdetroit #PureMichigan #StreetDreamsMag #ActuallyDetroit #I❤️Detroit (at Dequindre Cut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY8Yx7FLduC/?utm_medium=tumblr

Q&A with Fel3000ft: The story behind Detroit artist's latest mural, 'The Justice Wall'

Does art hold the power to knock us down, and hurl us from the ground where we stood? Graffiti writer, muralist and street artist Fel3000ft says he hopes so. For over 35 years, this native son’s been painting on Detroit’s buildings, walls and tunnels, crafting vibrant messages of renewal, identity, and inclusion. He says he wants his work to hit the viewer in a way that’s not soon forgotten.

Model D met up with Fel in the New Center neighborhood as he was putting the finishing touches on his latest project. “The Justice Wall” spans the side of a one-story law firm at 821 W. Milwaukee St. owned by attorneys Ali Koussan and Johnny Hamood. The mural features Lady Justice, her sight covered with a blindfold—a typical aspect of her characterization, and her arm extended to hold swinging scales. Vines of brightly colored roses entangle her body that breaks open at the skin, revealing inner workings.

Since the pandemic hit, Fel’s says there haven’t been opportunities for him to create public art. This is his first piece this year. Many of his clients had to put plans on hold due to COVID-19 budget challenges. The seasoned street artist, known for works like the Hopcat building and 10 pieces in Ford Field, says he’s been battling some depression this year while not being able to do the thing that makes him tick. It feels good to be back, he says.

Over two hours and a heavy rainstorm, Fel talked with Model D about his new piece, about coming up as a street artist in Detroit, and how public art that challenges the viewer and sparks meaningful conversation between people is needed now more than ever.

In progress these will see a wall and be time lapsed for fun I just want to work out the colorant style ahead of time over the last few years I would not use a sketch and just start something and see what it became I plan on still doing that but feel its importantly keep pushing and it’s a bunch cheaper to do it this way then waste paint on something I will just buff over #procreate #procreategraffiti #fel3000ft #fel3 #graffiti #detroit #detroitartist #streetart #digitalpainting #digitalart
